In this review, the general background is provided on cyanobacteria, including morphology,
cell membrane structure, and their photosynthesis pathway. The presence of cyanobacteria …

Photosystem II (PSII) is an integral-membrane, multisubunit complex that initiates electron
flow in oxygenic photosynthesis. The biogenesis of this complex machine involves the …

Although algal blooms, including those considered toxic or harmful, can be natural
phenomena, the nature of the global problem of harmful algal blooms (HABs) has expanded …

Physical Biology of the Cell is a textbook for a first course in physical biology or biophysics
for undergraduate or graduate students. It maps the huge and complex landscape of cell …

Abstract Background Photosystem II (PSII) is the light-driven water: plastoquinone
oxidoreductase of oxygenic photosynthesis and is found in the thylakoid membrane of …

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 …

Cyanobacterial NDH-1 complexes belong to a family of energy converting NAD (P) H:
Quinone oxidoreductases that includes bacterial type-I NADH dehydrogenase and …

The thylakoid membranes of cyanobacteria are the major sites of respiratory electron
transport as well as photosynthetic light reactions. The photosynthetic and respiratory …

The bioaccumulation and toxicity of heavy metals were reviewed with special reference to
microalgae, the key component of the food web in aquatic ecosystems. Heavy metals enter …

Oilseeds are the main source of lipids used in both food and biofuels. The growing demand
for vegetable oil has focused research toward increasing the amount of this valuable …
