The redox regulation mechanism responsible for efficient production of ATP under varying light conditions in photosynthetic organisms has now been unveiled. Researchers investigated the enzyme ...
Sulfoquinovose (SQ) is a sulfosugar produced on an immense scale by photosynthetic organisms such as plants, algae and cyanobacteria, where it forms an essential part of sulfolipids in cellular ...
It’s very easy to lose a single photon. That’s why it’s so impressive that photosynthetic systems rarely do. In contrast to photovoltaic cells, which currently top out at around 30 percent efficiency, ...
The efficient conversion of solar energy into storable forms of chemical energy is the dream of many engineers. Nature found a perfect solution to this problem billions of years ago. A new study ...
Researchers have discovered evidence of oxygen production in the deep Pacific Ocean, independent of sunlight and living ...
Why do plants reflect in the green and have a “red edge” in the red, and should extrasolar photosynthesis be the same? We provide (1) a brief review of how photosynthesis works, (2) an overview of the ...
A team of researchers, including a photosynthesis expert from ASU, has found evidence of photosynthesis taking place deep within the Pacific Ocean. The team found a bacterium that is the first ...
A rapid increase in oxygen levels about 2.5 billion years ago was linked to the evolution of photosynthetic organisms, but geological factors likely started this process. Earth’s early atmosphere was ...
Did you know that the deep ocean can produce oxygen without the need of solar light nor photosynthesis? According to a study ...
Consider the possibility of alien plants. After all, plenty of exoplanets likely have conditions friendly to the development of plants, even if evolution there never makes it as far as complex ...
ATP, the compound essential for the functioning of photosynthetic organisms such as plants, algae, and cyanobacteria, is produced by an enzyme called “chloroplast ATP synthase” (CF o CF 1). To control ...
