Photosystem II (PSII) is the water-splitting enzyme central to oxygenic photosynthesis. To
drive water oxidation, light is harvested by accessory pigments, mostly chlorophyll (Chl) a …

Chlorophyll-based phototrophs, or chlorophototrophs, convert light energy into stored
chemical potential energy using two types of photochemical reaction center (RC), denoted …

Cyanobacterial thylakoid membranes represent the active sites for both photosynthetic and
respiratory electron transport. We used high-resolution atomic force microscopy to visualize …

Some cyanobacteria remodel their photosynthetic apparatus by a process known as Far-
Red Light Photoacclimation (FaRLiP). Specific subunits of the phycobilisome (PBS) …

Efficient solar energy conversion is ensured by the organization, physical association, and
physiological coordination of various protein complexes in photosynthetic membranes …

Abstract Synechococcus ATCC 29403 (PCC 7335) is a unicellular cyanobacterium isolated
from Puerto Peñasco, Sonora Mexico. This cyanobacterium performs complementary …

The phycobilisome (PBS) is a giant highly-structured pigment-protein antenna of
cyanobacteria and red algae. PBS is composed of the phycobiliproteins and several linker …

Quenching of excess excitation energy is necessary for the photoprotection of light-
harvesting complexes. In cyanobacteria, quenching of phycobilisome (PBS) excitation …

Phycobilisome (PBS) is a giant photosynthetic antenna associated with the thylakoid
membranes of cyanobacteria and red algae. PBS consists of two domains: central core and …

Gloeobacter violaceus is a cyanobacteria species with a lack of thylakoids, while
photosynthetic antennas, ie, phycobilisomes (PBSs), photosystem II (PSII), and I (PSI), are …
