As supported by our data, the biosynthesis of MCYs is controlled by the biological clock. panniformis samples collected during L:D and L:L cycles indicated that the MCY-LR and -MCY-LR levels were higher during the day. We have isolated and identified for the first time by ESI-MS/MS two MCYs M. Therefore, some natural peptides, including MCYs and other bioactive oligopeptides, synthetized by cyanobacteria may be influenced by the biological clock. Nitrate reductase en nitrate reductase exhibit a circadian expression in different algae.

These findings strongly implicate a circadian regulatory mechanism operating on these metabolic processes are evidence for the importance of circadian rhythms in global metabolic regulation in some cyanobacteria species. It has been shown that several physiological and biochemical processes are controlled or at least are influenced by the biological clock in dinoflagellates and cyanobacteria such as, the cyanobacteria Cyanothece strain CGD temporally separates nitrogen fixation and photosynthetic activity to protect oxygen-sensitive nitrogenase, and the cyanobacterial KaiB and KaiC proteins (encoded by the gene cluster kaiABC) are robustly rhythmical, whereas the KaiA abundance undergoes little if any circadian oscillation in constant light. The psbA2 gene has exhibited light-dependent and rhythmic expression in Microcystis aeruginosa K-81. Seasonal changes of Microcystis species and production of MCYs and aeruginopeptins have been reported previousty. MCYs inhibit protein phosphatases, especially types 1 and 2A, in a similar way to the action of okadaic acid. *Corresponding author e-mail: cyanobacterial blooms of the genus Microcystis (Chroococcales, Cyanobacteria) can be a serious ecological and public health concern due to their ability to dominate the planktonic environment and produce cyclic heptapeptide toxins, named microcystins (MCYs). de Bioquímica, IQUSP, São Paulo, SP, BrazilĮDepto de Biologia, UFPE, Recife, PE, Brazil de Análises Clínicas e Toxicológicas, FCFUSP, SP, BrazilĬDepto. de Ciências Biológicas, ESALQ-USP, Piracicaba, SP, BrazilīDepto.

It leads to stable timing in species never observing dawn and dusk.

This arrangement allows robust entrainment when the signal is noisy and behavioural withdrawal from light adds to its variance.

All features of the circadian system can be explained by velocity changes in response to light, a response that is reduced under prolonged illumination and restored during prolonged darkness. The results reveal no evidence for a specific role of the transitions per se.

In recent years we performed a series of studies in mice to address this issue, using protocols with single and double light pulses of different duration as well as single lights-on and lights-off signals.

Although the phase shift model became widely accepted, straightforward experimental tests of the alternatives are lacking. *Corresponding author e-mail: the early days of circadian rhythms research there were two competing views on entrainment by light: through parametric action on the velocity of the endogenous cycle (Aschoff) versus non-parametric discrete phase shifts elicited by the lights-on and –off transitions (Pittendrigh).
