Life Implies Work: A Holistic Account of Our Microbial Biosphere Focussing on the Bioenergetic Processes of Cyanobacteria, the Ecologically Most Successful Organisms on Our Earth

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Bioenergetic Processes of Cyanobacteria

Abstract

This review analyses and discusses all fundamental aspects of BIOENERGETICS—physical, physicochemical, biochemical, physiological, ecological, and genetic aspects, always in front of, and exemplified by, the CYANOBACTERIA, the nonplus-ultra of microbial bioenergetics and physiology, representing the only organisms on earth uniquely capable of performing all the three bioenergetic processes, viz., (anaerobic) fermentation, (oxygenic) photosynthesis, and (aerobic) respiration in one and the same prokaryotic (=bacterial) cell. Thus the first chapter (Part I) will deal with fundamental bioenergetics. Thereby, also explicitly discussed will be usually rather neglected biological topics such as, e.g., the monophyletic origin of life, Darwinian evolution, Ludwig von Bertalanffy’s inherent flow equilibrium of living matter, Jacques Monod’s Chance and Necessity, reasons for the fundamental, yet still unexplained biochemical dichotomies (“one-sidednesses”, as witnessed, e.g., by the universal bioenergetic use of ATP, not—energetically equivalent—GTP, CTP, or UTP, and of optically active (“chiral”) biochemical monomers such as L-amino acids and D-sugars, as well as the interesting and “self-sustaining”, perpetuum mobile-like syntrophic communities in our biosphere. Naturally, the discussion will occasionally also briefly take us a bit farther away to more philosophical reflections on life per se. The last chapter (Part II) will focus in some more detail on cyanobacterial electron transport, in particular the still by far most-neglected aspect of cyanobacterial bioenergetics, cyanobacterial respiration, both viewed from traditional biochemistry and from the more fashionable in-silico approach of genetics. In respective contexts, the impact of environmental stresses (starvation, temperature, light, salt, pH, heavy metals, etc.) on cyanobacterial bioenergetics, both in general and with respect to specific bioenergetic processes, will also be discussed.
