Reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as singlet oxygen, superoxide (O2●−) and hydrogen
peroxide (H2O2) are the markers of living cells. Oxygenic photosynthesis produces ROS in …

Microalgal photosynthesis is responsible for nearly half of the CO 2 annually captured by
Earth's ecosystems. In aquatic environments where the CO 2 availability is low, the CO 2 …

Global photosynthesis consumes ten times more CO2 than net anthropogenic emissions,
and microalgae account for nearly half of this consumption. The high efficiency of algal …

In response to a sudden increase in light intensity, plants must cope with absorbed excess
photon energy to protect photosystems from photodamage. Under fluctuating light, PSI is …

Photosynthesis uses sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into biomass and oxygen.
When in excess, light can be dangerous for the photosynthetic apparatus because it can …

Cyanobacteria and microalgae perform oxygenic photosynthesis where light energy is
harnessed to split water into oxygen and protons. This process releases electrons that are …

Photosynthesis—the conversion of energy from sunlight into chemical energy—is essential
for life on Earth. Yet there is much we do not understand about photosynthetic energy …

During photosynthesis, electron transport reactions generate and shuttle reductant to allow
CO2 reduction by the Calvin–Benson–Bassham cycle and the formation of biomass building …

Apart from the canonical light-driven linear electron flow (LEF) from water to CO 2, numerous
regulatory and alternative electron transfer pathways exist in chloroplasts. One of them is the …

During oxygenic photosynthesis, the reducing power generated by light energy conversion
is mainly used to reduce carbon dioxide. In bacteria and archae, flavodiiron (Flv) proteins …
