The ability of photosynthetic organisms to use the sun's light as a sole source of energy
sustains life on our planet. Photosystems I (PSI) and II (PSII) are large, multi-subunit …

Carotenoids are associated with several important biological functions as antenna pigments
in photosynthesis or protectives against oxidative stress. Occasionally they were also …

NOx and SOx present in flue gas inhibit microalgal based CO 2 mitigation process. In this
work, 13 microalgal strains were screened to evaluate their gradual acclimation capacity to …

Engineering cyanobacteria for the production of isoprene and other terpenoids has gained
increasing attention in the field of biotechnology. Several studies have addressed …

Astaxanthin is a carotenoid with wide applications because of its strong antioxidant
properties. It is mainly produced from the green alga Haematococcus pluvialis, but large …

Temperature is the most critical factor that directly affects the physiological functioning and
metabolic activities of any organism. With rising global temperature, understanding the heat …

The global population growth has led to a higher demand for food production, necessitating
improvements in agricultural productivity. However, abiotic and biotic stresses pose …

Microalgae have long been used for the commercial production of natural colorants such as
carotenoids and chlorophyll. Due to the rising demand for carotenoids and other natural …

Assembly of photosystem II (PSII), a water-splitting catalyst in chloroplasts and
cyanobacteria, requires numerous auxiliary proteins which promote individual steps of this …

In the present study, fatty acid synthesis genes such as alpha and beta subunits of acetyl
CoA carboxylase (accA and accD) were overexpressed in the glgC (Glucose-1-phosphate …
