Microalgae are one of the most promising feedstocks for the production of commodity and
value-added products. However, the use of microalgae as a feedstock is hampered by the …

During the last years significant progress was achieved in unraveling molecular
characteristics of the thylakoid membrane of different diatoms. With the present review it is …

Diatoms are dominant marine algae and contribute around a quarter of global primary
productivity, the success of which is largely attributed to their photosynthetic capacity aided …

INTRODUCTION Photosystem II (PSII) is a pigment-protein complex and catalyzes light-
induced water splitting in photosynthesis, converting light energy from the Sun into chemical …

Light-harvesting antenna systems in photosynthetic organisms harvest solar energy and
transfer it to the photosynthetic reaction centres to initiate charge-separation and electron …

Photosynthetic light-harvesting complexes (LHCs) play a pivotal role in collecting solar
energy for photochemical reactions in photosynthesis. One of the major LHCs are …

Fucoxanthin chlorophyll (Chl) a/c-binding proteins (FCPs) function as light harvesters in
diatoms. The structure of a diatom photosystem II-FCPII (PSII-FCPII) supercomplex have …

Photosynthetic eukaryotes exhibit very different light-harvesting proteins, but all contain
membrane-intrinsic light-harvesting complexes (Lhcs), either as additional or sole antennae …

Photosystem II is a unique complex capable of absorbing light and splitting water. The
complex has been thoroughly studied and to date there are more than 40 proteins identified …

Photosystem II (PSII) is the water-splitting enzyme complex of photosynthesis and consists of
a large number of protein subunits. Most of these proteins have been structurally and …
