About

Gloeobacter violaceus es una cianobacteria distintiva notable por carecer de membranas tilacoidales, situando todos los pigmentos fotosintéticos directamente en la membrana citoplasmática, a diferencia de todas las demás cianobacterias conocidas. Se encuentra en rocas calcáreas húmedas y paredes de cuevas, y su posición de ramificación profunda en las filogenias de cianobacterias la hace de gran interés para comprender la evolución de la fotosíntesis. Su genoma ha sido completamente secuenciado, revelando características metabólicas únicas.
