Photosynthesis—the conversion of energy from sunlight into chemical energy—is essential
for life on Earth. Yet there is much we do not understand about photosynthetic energy …

Cyanobacteria (oxygenic photoautrophs) comprise a diverse group holding significance
both environmentally and for biotechnological applications. The utilization of proteomic …

Cyanobacteria carry out photosynthetic light-energy conversion using phycobiliproteins for
light harvesting and the chlorophyll-rich photosystems for photochemistry. While most …

Phycobilisomes (PBS) are antenna megacomplexes that transfer energy to photosystems II
and I in thylakoids. PBS likely evolved from a basic, inefficient form into the predominant …

Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic organisms that exhibit characteristic acclimation and
developmental responses to dynamic changes in the external light environment …

The need to acclimate to different environmental conditions is central to the evolution of
cyanobacteria. Far-red light (FRL) photoacclimation, or FaRLiP, is an acclimation …

Efficient solar energy conversion is ensured by the organization, physical association, and
physiological coordination of various protein complexes in photosynthetic membranes …

Deserts represent extreme habitats where photosynthetic life is restricted to the lithic niche.
The ability of rock-inhabiting cyanobacteria to modify their photosynthetic apparatus and …

Oxygenic photosynthesis in Halomicronema hongdechloris, one of a series of cyanobacteria
producing red-shifted Chl f, is adapted to varying light conditions by a range of diverse …

Cyanobacteria were among the oldest organisms to undertake oxygenic photosynthesis and
have an essential impact on the atmosphere and carbon/nitrogen cycles on the planet. The …
