Fluorescence yield relaxation following a light pulse was studied in various cyanobacteria
under aerobic and microaerobic conditions. In Synechocystis PCC 6803 fluorescence yield …

A significant component of many different ecosystems, cyanobacteria occupy almost every
niche of the earth, including fresh and salt waters, rice fields, hot springs, arid deserts, and …

The five small CAB-like proteins (ScpA-E) of the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC
6803 belong to the family of stress-induced light-harvesting-like proteins, but are …

This mini review presents current topics of discussion about photosystem (PS) I and PS II of
photosynthesis in the Acaryochloris marina. A. marina is a photosynthetic cyanobacterium in …

Chlorophyll a is the photochemical agent accounting for most oxygenic photosynthesis, that
is, over 99.9% of photosynthetic primary activity on Earth. The spectral and energetic …

Acaryochloris marina is the only species known to utilize chlorophyll (Chl) d as a principal
photopigment. The peak absorption wavelength of Chl d is redshifted≈ 40nm in vivo relative …

Acaryochloris marina is a unique cyanobacterium that contains chlorophyll (Chl) d as a
major pigment. Because Chl d has smaller excitation energy than Chl a used in ordinary …

One of the unique features of electron transfer processes in photosystem II (PSII) reaction
centers (RC) is the exclusive transfer of electrons down only one of the two parallel cofactor …

In the present study we investigated the role of the PsbU subunit in the electron transport
characteristics and light sensitivity of the Photosystem II complex. The experiments were …

Upon exposure of photosynthetic organisms to high light (HL), several HL acclimation
responses are triggered. Herein, we identified a novel gene, slr0320, critical for HL …
