Scientists have developed a material with photosynthetic bacteria that convert carbon dioxide into a mineral skeleton. The ...

A certain species of sea slug steals chloroplasts from algae and houses its contraband in special organelles that it can raid for food in times of need ...

The first photosynthetic pathway that was biochemically characterized is called the C 3 pathway because the initial products of carbon fixation are 3-carbon compounds (phosphoglyceric acid, PGA ...

Researchers are developing a living material that actively extracts carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Photosynthetic cyanobacteria grow inside it, forming biomass and solid minerals and thus binding ...

Abstract. 1. Nitrogen (N) is an essential limiting resource for plant growth, and its efficient use may increase fitness. We investigated photosynthetic N-use efficiency (photosynthetic capacity per ...

At ETH Zurich, scientists from many different fields are working on something that seems straight out of science fiction.

Types of photosynthetic processes. There are two types of photosynthesis: oxygenic and anoxygenic. They both follow very similar principles, but the former is the most common and is seen in plants ...

The experiments. The team considered three different photosynthetic ETCs (exciton-transfer complexes) during the experiments. These include the Fenna-Matthews-Olson (FMO) complex—which appears ...

In certain photosynthetic bacteria called cyanobacteria, it's normal to produce hydrogen in short spurts. It's part of a process that the cyanobacteria use to shut down photosynthesis when things ...

Photosynthetic secrets come to light Date: March 4, 2024 Source: John Innes Centre Summary: Secrets of photosynthesis have been discovered at atomic level, shedding important new light on this ...

Ironically, receiving too much light can damage photosystem II and erode the photosynthetic efficiency of plants. Purdue University biochemists Steven McKenzie and Sujith Puthiyaveetil have ...
