Carotenoids (CARs) are a group of pigments that perform several important physiological
functions in all kingdoms of living organisms. CARs serve as protective agents, which are …

Oxygenic photosynthesis evolved billions of years ago, becoming Earth's main source of
biologically available carbon and atmospheric oxygen. Since then, phototrophic organisms …

Little is known about how the photosynthetic machinery is arranged in time and space
during the biogenesis of thylakoid membranes. Using in situ cryo-electron tomography to …

Thylakoids mediate photosynthetic electron transfer and represent one of the most elaborate
energy-transducing membrane systems. Despite our detailed knowledge of its structure and …

The cyanobacterial thylakoid membrane represents a system that can carry out both
oxygenic photosynthesis and respiration simultaneously. The organization, interactions and …

Cyanobacteria are prokaryotes that can use photosynthesis to convert sunlight into cellular
fuel. Knowledge of the organization of the membrane systems in cyanobacteria is critical to …

Cyanobacteria possess multiple mechanisms for regulating the pathways of photosynthetic
and respiratory electron transport. Electron transport may be regulated indirectly by …

The thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts and cyanobacteria is a unique internal membrane
system harbouring the complexes of the photosynthetic electron transfer chain. Despite their …

Chloroplasts utilize photons from solar radiation to synthesize energy-rich molecules of
ATPs and NADPHs, which are further used in active cellular processes. Multiprotein …

Introducing biosynthetic pathways into an organism is both reliant on and challenged by
endogenous biochemistry. Here we compared the expansion potential of the metabolic …
