Accelerating innovation in biotechnology through knowledge in cyanobacterial photosynthesis
(Turun yliopisto, 2021-11-26)
Microalgae are potential hosts for the sustainable production of valuable chemicals using CO2 as feedstock and light as an energy source. In whole-cell applications, biosynthetic reactions of interest are supplied with ...
Dynamic regulation of oxygenic photosynthesis in cyanobacteria by flavodiiron proteins
(Turun yliopisto, 2021-11-19)
The ability of oxygenic photosynthetic organisms to develop protective mechanisms for the regulation of the photosynthetic apparatus is crucial for their survival in continuously changing environmental conditions. The ...
Photosynthetic characteristics of Pinaceae: From evolution to environmental acclimation
(Turun yliopisto, 2022-06-29)
Boreal evergreen conifers are important for Northern countries and have functioned for centuries as main drivers of the economy. Nowadays, the attention has shifted to the sustainability of the boreal forests, their ...
Photoprotection and genetic autonomy of plastids in photosynthetic sea slugs
(Turun yliopisto, 2022-03-11)
Certain sea slugs “steal” the photosynthetic cellular organelles, the plastids, from their prey algae and incorporate them, still functional, inside their own cells. These animals can then remain photosynthetic for months. ...
Light-acclimation and regulation of photosynthesis in autotrophic Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
(Turun yliopisto, 2023-09-15)
Photosynthetic light reactions take place in the thylakoid membranes, where lightdriven electron transfer occurs from water to carbon dioxide through two photosystems (PSII and PSI), between of which is an electron-transferring ...
Chloroplast protein acetyltransferases – novel players in the regulation of photosynthesis
(Turun yliopisto, 2023-08-11)
Post-translational modifications (PTMs) of proteins such as phosphorylation have been shown to play pivotal roles in the regulation of photosynthesis. However, the study of these small modifications has long been hindered ...
Employing Solid-State Platforms for Photosynthetic Chemical Production
(Turun yliopisto, 2024-06-07)
Photosynthetic microorganisms, such as cyanobacteria and microalgae play a key role in the ecosystem while also holding great economic potential for a sustainable future. These organisms offer diverse applications, ranging ...
Diversity in phosphorylation of thylakoid membrane proteins in chloroplasts
(Turun yliopisto, 2024-04-09)
Photosynthesis is the most fundamental process for life on Earth. Sunlight is highly variable and fluctuates both in intensity and duration, which induces short and longterm responses in photosynthetic organisms. Photosynthetic ...
