Nitrogen is one of the most important nutrients needed for plants and algae to survive, and
the photosynthetic ability of algae is related to nitrogen abundance. Red algae are unique …

In cyanobacteria, the photosynthetic prokaryotes, direct interaction between photosynthesis
and respiration exists at plastoquinone (PQ) pool, which is shared by the two electron …

Although ammoniacal nitrogen is the preferred nitrogen source for microalgae/
cyanobacteria, at elevated concentrations and high pH values it may negatively impact …

Background Photosynthetic organisms have developed multiple protective mechanisms to
prevent photodamage in vivo under high-light conditions. Cyanobacteria and red algae use …

Herein the effect of increasing light intensity on the degree of ammonia toxicity and its impact
on the photosynthetic performance of Arthrospira and Chlorella was investigated using Chl …

Photosynthetic microalgae have a high potential for the production of biofuels and highly
valued metabolites. However, their current industrial exploitation is limited by a productivity …

Nitrogen (N) limitation is considered as the most efficient strategy to induce the accumulation
of lipids, carbohydrates or other target compounds in microalgal biomass. However, along …

The ubiquitous chlorophyll a (Chl a) pigment absorbs both blue and red light. Yet, in contrast
to green algae and higher plants, most cyanobacteria have much lower photosynthetic rates …

Oxygenic photosynthetic organisms perform photosynthesis efficiently by distributing
captured light energy to photosystems (PSs) at an appropriate balance. Maintaining …

Photosynthetic hydrogen production from microalgae is considered to have potential as a
renewable energy source. Yet, the process has two main limitations holding it back from …
