text: Investigating the physiology of cyanobacteria cultured under a diel light
regime is relevant for a better understanding of the resulting growth characteristics
and for specific biotechnological applications that are foreseen for these photosynthetic
organisms. Here, we present the results of a multiomics study of the model cyanobacterium
Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803, cultured in a lab-scale photobioreactor in
physiological conditions relevant for large-scale culturing. The culture was sparged
withN2 andCO2, leading to an anoxic environment during the dark period. Growth
followed the availability of light. Metabolite analysis performed with 1Hnuclear
magnetic resonance analysis showed that amino acids involved in nitrogen and sulfur
assimilation showed elevated levels in the light. Most protein levels, analyzed
through mass spectrometry, remained rather stable. However, several high-light-response
proteins and stress-response proteins showed distinct changes at the onset of
the light period. Microarray-based transcript analysis found common patterns of~56%
of the transcriptome following the diel regime. These oscillating transcripts
could be grouped coarsely into genes that were upregulated and downregulated in
the dark period. The accumulated glycogen was degraded in the anaerobic environment
in the dark. A small part was degraded gradually, reflecting basic maintenance
requirements of the cells in darkness. Surprisingly, the largest part was degraded
rapidly in a short time span at the end of the dark period. This degradation could
allow rapid formation of metabolic intermediates at the end of the dark period,
preparing the cells for the resumption of growth at the start of the light period.
