Xanthophyll cycles are broadly important in photoprotection, and the reversible de‐
epoxidation of xanthophylls typically occurs in excess light conditions. However, as …

Light is a driving force behind the synthesis of biomass in photoautotrophs. In pelagic
ecosystems, highly variable light strongly affects microalgae at an ecological (success and …

In this study, we investigate the response of the phytoplankton community, with emphasis on
ecophysiology and succession, after two experimental additions of Saharan dust in the …

In aquatic ecosystems, the superimposition of mixing events to the light diel cycle exposes
phytoplankton to changes in the velocity of light intensity increase, from diurnal variations to …

In changing light conditions, photosynthetic organisms develop different strategies to
maintain a fine balance between light harvesting, photochemistry, and photoprotection. One …

Reaching up to 50% of the total biomass in oligotrophic waters and armed with a set of
ecological and biological properties related to their small size, picophytoplankton (< 3.0 µm) …

A challenge in algae‐based bio‐oil production is to simultaneously enhance specific growth
rates and specific lipid content. We have demonstrated simultaneous increases in both the …

Photosynthetic organisms have diversified light-harvesting complexes (LHCs) to collect
solar energy efficiently, leading to an acquisition of their ecological niches. Herein we report …

Photosystem I (PSI) from the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, with various numbers
of membrane bound antenna complexes (LHCI), has been described in great detail. In …

Photosynthetic single-celled eukaryotes (ie protists) are often referred to as phytoplankton or
algae, despite the existence of unicellular and multicellular algae. Heterotrophic protists are …
