Cyanobacteria and red-algae share a common light-harvesting complex which is different
than all other complexes that serve as photosynthetic antennas–the Phycobilisome (PBS) …

Photosynthetic fluorescence emission spectra measurement at the temperature of 77 K (–
196° C) is an often-used technique in photosynthesis research. At low temperature …

Photosynthetic organisms adapt to changing light conditions by manipulating their light
harvesting complexes. Biophysical, biochemical, physiological and genetic aspects of these …

In cyanobacteria, photoprotection from overexcitation of photochemical centers can be
obtained by excitation energy dissipation at the level of the phycobilisome (PBS), the …

The phycobilisome is the primary light-harvesting antenna in cyanobacterial and red algal
oxygenic photosynthesis. It maintains near-unity efficiency of energy transfer to reaction …

Although PFOS has been banned as a persistent organic pollutant, it still exists in large
quantities within the environment, thus impacting the health of aquatic ecosystems. Previous …

The major light harvesting antenna in all cyanobacterial species is the phycobilisome (PBS).
The smallest PBS identified to date is that of Acaryochloris marina (A. marina), composed of …

Photodamage to the photosynthetic apparatus by excessive light radiation has led to the
evolution of a variety of energy dissipation mechanisms. A mechanism that exists in some …

Light absorption is the initial step in the photosynthetic process. In all species, most of the
light is absorbed by dedicated pigment-protein complexes called light harvesting complexes …

This work highlights spectroscopic studies performed on a CpcL-phycobilisome (CpcL-PBS)
light-harvesting complex from cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 ΔAB strain. The …
