A novel system tested in a rat's heart rescues the myocardium from acute ischemia through intramyocardial delivery of this bacteria. By using light rather than blood flow as a source of energy, photosynthetic therapy with Synechococcus elongatus supplies the heart with oxygen and nutrients, increases tissue oxygenation, maintains myocardial metabolism, and yields durable improvements in cardiac function.
Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) that lives in freshwater and marine environments. It is able to rapidly grow obtaining energy through photosynthesis - from light and greenhouse gas carbon dioxide.
