Blue-green algae skip a sugar shortcut scientists thought they used
PubMed · 2026-08-05
Scientists found that a common type of blue-green algae doesn't use a sugar-processing shortcut that researchers had assumed it relied on for decades. The discovery corrects the textbook picture of how these ancient photosynthetic microbes fuel themselves.
1
Synechocystis, a widely studied cyanobacterium, lacks the Entner-Doudoroff pathway for breaking down glucose.
2
This contradicts prior assumptions that cyanobacteria used this pathway as a standard glucose metabolism route.
3
The correction affects how scientists model cyanobacterial metabolism for research and biotechnology applications.
