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, ...

Mycotoxin contamination in food is a serious concern for human and animal health. Today, we do not know how to detoxify food materials that are contaminated with mycotoxins in ways that retain their edibility. Therefore, ...

Plants regulate their responses to changing environmental conditions to cope with stresses and survive under natural growth habitats. Growth and stress responses must be strictly balanced to prevent poor survival and ...

There is an increasing global need for developing new sustainable alternatives and technological solutions for replacing oil‐based products currently in use. In response to this demand, photosynthetic cyanobacteria have ...

In higher plants the thylakoid embedded pigment-protein complexes, photosystem (PS) I and PSII together with their respective light harvesting complex (LHC) antennas work in series to harvest solar energy and convert it ...

ABSTRACT Cyanobacteria are important primary producers performing oxygenic photosynthesis using CO2 or HCO3- as a carbon source. Active adjustment of gene expression according to environmental cues depends on the RNA ...

Carbon neutral solutions and circular economy are a relevant part of a sustainable future. Solutions based on photosynthetic cyanobacteria have potential due to several facts: i) Cyanobacteria can produce target compounds ...

In oxygenic photosynthesis light is captured in series by two protein complexes: photosystem II and photosystem I (PSI and PSII). Electron transfer from PSII to PSI is mediated by the plastoquinone (PQ) pool. Despite being ...
