Photoinhibition is one of the most controversial topics in photophysiology. Well into the 21 st
century, scientists have not agreed on the mechanism of action, primary site, and roles of …

Aquatic ecosystems are responsible for about 50% of global productivity. They mitigate
climate change by taking up a substantial fraction of anthropogenically emitted CO2 and …

Assessing phytoplankton productivity over space and time remains a core goal for
oceanographers and limnologists. Fast Repetition Rate fluorometry (FRRf) provides a …

Photosynthesis in diatoms is performed using the same basic modules as cyanobacteria
and plants. It can be regulated on multiple levels depending on the environmental cues …

Nitrogen (N) availability affects phytoplankton photosynthetic performance and regulates
marine primary production (MPP) across the global coast and oceans. Bio‐optical tools …

During winter in the Arctic marine ecosystem, diatoms have to survive long periods of
darkness caused by low sun elevations and the presence of sea ice covered by snow. To …

Prochlorococcus, the smallest and most abundant phytoplankter in the ocean, is highly
sensitive to hydrogen peroxide (HOOH), and co-occurring heterotrophs such as …

Photodamage of photosystem II is a significant physiological process that is prevalent in the
fields of photobiology, photosynthesis research and plant/algal stress. Since its discovery …

Microbial growth in many environments is limited by nitrogen availability, yet there is limited
understanding of how complex communities compete for and allocate this resource. Here …

All the diverse lineages of phytoplankters use conserved Photosystem II complexes to
mediate photochemical extraction of electrons from water, with concomitant release of …
