Abstract Glutathione (γ-glu-cys-gly; GSH) is usually present at high concentrations in most
living cells, being the major reservoir of non-protein reduced sulfur. Because of its unique …

Hydrogen production through biological routes is promising because they are
environmentally friendly. Hydrogen production through biophotolysis or photofermentation is …

Proton/sulphate co-transport in the plasma membrane of root cells is the first step for the
uptake of sulphate from the environment by plants. Further intracellular, cell-to-cell and long …

Unicellular green algae have the ability to operate in two distinctly different environments
(aerobic and anaerobic), and to photosynthetically generate molecular hydrogen (H 2). A …

Plants play a prominent role as sulfur reducers in the global sulfur cycle. Sulfate, the major
form of inorganic sulfur utilized by plants, is absorbed and transported by specific sulfate …

Biological systems offer a variety of ways by which to generate renewable energy. Among
them, unicellular green algae have the ability to capture the visible portion of sunlight and …

Plastids semi-autonomous, membrane-bound organelles of plant cells that carry out a large
number of biosynthetic and other functions such as photosynthesis (chloroplasts), ammonia …

Due to the presence of plastids, eukaryotic photosynthetic cells represent the most highly
compartmentalized eukaryotic cells. This high degree of compartmentation requires the …

Plants are major sulfur reducers in the global sulfur cycle. Sulfate, the major natural sulfur
source in soil, is absorbed by plant roots and transported into plastids, where it is reduced …

The truncated light-harvesting antenna2 (tla2) mutant of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
showed a lighter-green phenotype, had a lower chlorophyll (Chl) per-cell content, and …
