Healthy dietary choices, such as daily consumption of vegetables and fruits, are fundamental for preventing metabolic disorders. Anthocyanin-rich purple and red edible plants, such as berries and fruits, show potential in ...

Bacterial pathogens cause severe infections in humans. The emergence of multiresistant bacteria requires the development of new antimicrobial strategies. Bacteria utilize various virulence mechanisms to promote their ...

Photosynthesis allows plants to store light energy in organic compounds. Plants have an efficient apparatus to harvest photons from sunlight and use the energy to split water and transport electrons to specific high-energy ...

The genetic engineering of cyanobacteria is seen as a promising strategy to develop future photosynthetic microbial cell factories capable of generating carbon-based compounds from water, CO2 and solar energy. This synthetic ...

In photosynthetic light reactions, photosystem (PS)II and PSI as well as Cytochrome b6f, which are embedded in the thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts, transfer electrons from water molecules to NADP+ using the light energy ...

Cyanobacteria are unique prokaryotic microbes performing oxygenic photosynthesis. They have inherent capacity of the direct conversion of solar energy, CO2 and water into carbonbased compounds. Scientists’ increasing ...

In nature, plants are exposed to continuous changes in the environment. To ensure their growth and survival, plants have evolved intrincate molecular machinery that allows rapid adjustments in cellular functions in response ...

Oxygenic photosynthesis is sunlight-energized conversion of CO2 into carbohydrates using electrons extracted from water. It occurs in cyanobacteria and in their endosymbiotic evolutionary descendants, the chloroplasts ...

Microalgae have been under investigation as alternatives for wastewater treatment for the last 60 years. However, we are yet to see an algal based process to be trusted as a treatment strategy on a large scale. At present, ...

During recent years, cyanobacteria have been gaining popularity rapidly as a platform for CO2 sequestration and production of a wide range of industrially attractive products. Factors such as simple nutritional requirements, ...
