Light is essential for photosynthesis. Nevertheless, its intensity widely changes depending
on time of day, weather, season, and localization of individual leaves within canopies. This …

Sunlight energy largely exceeds the energy required by anthropic activities, and therefore its
exploitation represents a major target in the field of renewable energies. The interest in the …

Insufficient intracellular anabolism is a crucial factor involved in many pathological
processes in the body,. The anabolism of intracellular substances requires the consumption …

Proficient photosynthetic microalgae/cyanobacteria produce a remarkable amount of various
biomolecules. Secondary metabolites (SM) represent high value products for global biotrend …

Xanthophyll cycles are broadly important in photoprotection, and the reversible de‐
epoxidation of xanthophylls typically occurs in excess light conditions. However, as …

The xanthophyll cycles of higher plants and algae represent an important photoprotection
mechanism. Two main xanthophyll cycles are known, the violaxanthin cycle of higher plants …

Light and nutrients are critical regulators of photosynthesis and metabolism in plants and
algae. Many algae have the metabolic flexibility to grow photoautotrophically …

Background Microalgae are emerging hosts for the sustainable production of lutein, a high-
value carotenoid; however, to be commercially competitive with existing systems, their …

The dynamics of non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) of chlorophyll fluorescence and the
dynamics of xanthophyll conversion under different actinic light conditions were studied in …
