Photosynthesis is a fundamental and central metabolic process of our planet. Honed by billions of years of evolution, it forms the basis for the food chain that sustains our ecosphere. Photosynthesis begins with sunlight ...

The cytochrome bf complex is essential for both photosynthetic and respiratory electron transport in cyanobacteria. A Rieske iron-sulfur protein (ISP) is an essential subunit of this complex. The cyanobacterium, Synechocystis ...

The marine cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002 tolerates extreme highlight intensities of more than twice full sunlight (≥2000 μmol photons m-2 s-1), a stress condition that can damage cellular machinery via the ...

Rieske iron-sulfur proteins (ISPs) are integrally involved in photosynthetic electron transport chains and thus closely linked to energy production and its regulation in cyanobacteria and plant chloroplasts. The cyanobacterium ...

With current global warming, there is growing interest in coupling carbon dioxide (CO2) capture to chemical synthesis via photosynthesis. Cyanobacteria convert up to 10% of the sun's energy into biomass compared to 1% by ...

Cyanobacteria are the ancestors of plant chloroplasts and perform ~25% of global photosynthesis. The photosynthetic reaction center complexes (PSII and PSI) capture solar energy to catalyze a series of electron transfer, ...
