Photosynthetic light-harvesting antennae are pigment-binding proteins that perform one of
the most fundamental tasks on Earth, capturing light and transferring energy that enables life …

Cyanobacteria carry out photosynthetic light-energy conversion using phycobiliproteins for
light harvesting and the chlorophyll-rich photosystems for photochemistry. While most …

The acclimation of cyanobacteria to iron deficiency is crucial for their survival in natural
environments. In response to iron deficiency, many cyanobacterial species induce the …

This study aimed to compare genomic and physiological traits, particularly those related to
the functioning of the photosynthetic apparatus, of five Raphidiopsis raciborskii strains …

Photosynthetic organisms have evolved an essential energy-dependent quenching (qE)
mechanism to avoid any lethal damages caused by high light. While the triggering …

Photosynthetic light harvesting is the first step in harnessing sunlight toward biological
productivity. To operate efficiently under a broad and dynamic range of environmental …

The binding of C-phycocyanin (CPC), a light harvesting pigment with phycocyanobilin
(PCB), a chromophore is instrumental for the coloration and bioactivity. In this study …

In cyanobacteria, phycobilisomes (PBS) serve as peripheral light-harvesting complexes of
the two photosystems, extending their antenna size and the wavelength range of photons …

Photosystem I (PSI) is a large membrane photosynthetic complex that harvests sunlight and
drives photosynthetic electron transport. In both green algae and higher plants, PSI's …

Photosynthesis powers nearly all life on Earth. This tremendously important process starts
with the absorption of sunlight by photosynthetic pigments. The excitation energy flows from …
