We describe how environmental context can help determine whether oxygen (O2) detected
in extrasolar planetary observations is more likely to have a biological source. Here we …

This minireview is written in honor of Vladimir A. Shuvalov, a pioneer in the area of primary
photochemistry of both oxygenic and anoxygenic photosyntheses (See a News Report …

INTRODUCTION Photosynthetic reaction centers (RCs) harvest light energy and convert it
into chemical energy, a process that ultimately sustains most life on Earth. RCs are classified …

The second edition of this best-selling handbook is bigger, more comprehensive, and now
completely current. In addition to thorough updates to the discussions featured in the first …

The cytochrome bd oxidases are terminal oxidases that are present in bacteria and archaea.
They reduce molecular oxygen (dioxygen) to water, avoiding the production of reactive …

Photosynthesis is responsible for the photochemical conversion of light into the chemical
energy that fuels the planet Earth. The photochemical core of this process in all …

Leaf chlorophyll is essential to harvest light energy to drive photosynthesis. Yet, most of
studies of leaf chlorophyll concentration (Chl) have typically been limited to few species or …

Photosynthesis has walked into the path of evolution for over millions of years. Organisms
relying directly on photosynthesis, when subjected to adverse environments for a long …

Over the past decade, increasing research focus has been posed on the use of intact and
viable photosynthetic microorganisms in biohybrid electrochemical systems. Various works …

Photosynthetic proteins power the biosphere. Reaction centres, light harvesting antenna
proteins and cytochrome b6f (or bc1) complexes are expressed at high levels, have been …
