Cyanobacteria, or the blue-green algae as they used to be called until 1974, are the oldest
oxygenic photosynthesizers. We summarize here adventures with them since the early …

In dark-adapted plants and algae, chlorophyll a fluorescence induction peaks within 1s after
irradiation due to well documented photochemical and non-photochemical processes. Here …

Cyanobacteria can rapidly regulate the relative activity of their photosynthetic complexes
photosystem I and II (PSI and PSII) in response to changes in the illumination conditions …

Cyanobacteria are oxygenic phototrophic prokaryotes and are considered to be the
ancestors of chloroplasts. Their photosynthetic machinery is functionally equivalent in terms …

The evolutionary route from anoxygenic photosynthetic bacteria to oxygenic cyanobacteria
is discontinuous in terms of photochemical/photophysical reaction systems. It is difficult to …

8. I Introduction This review is centred on the biochemical and biophysical aspects of
photosynthetic energy conversion in the cyanobacteria. The details of the photosynthetic …

Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) are oxygenic phototrophic bacteria carrying out water-
splitting, O 2-releasing (viz., plant-type) photosynthesis and water-forming, O 2-reducing …

Photosystem I reaction centers of the cyanobacterium Thermo s ynechococcus elongatus
have been investigated using single-molecule spectroscopy. Single-molecule fluorescence …

Photosynthetic organisms are exposed to a fluctuating environment in which light intensity
and quality change continuously. Specific illumination of either photosystem (PSI or PSII) …

The state transition in cyanobacteria is a long-discussed topic of how the photosynthetic
machine regulates the excitation energy distribution in balance between the two …
