Abstract: Photosystem II (PSII) of oxygenic photosynthetic organisms normally contains exclusively chlorophyll a (Chl a) as its major light-harvesting pigment. Chl a canonically consists of the chlorin headgroup with a 20-carbon, 4-isoprene unit, phytyl tail. We… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/msystems.00317-22
Abstract: Oxygenic photosynthesis arose early in microbial evolution—approximately 2.5 to 3.5 billion years ago—and entirely reshaped the biological makeup of Earth. However, despite the span of time in which photosynthesis has been refined, it is strictly… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2022.876272
Abstract: Cyanobacteria evolved an inorganic carbon-concentrating mechanism (CCM) to perform effective oxygenic photosynthesis and prevent photorespiratory carbon losses. This process facilitates the acclimation of cyanobacteria to various habitats, particularly in CO2-limited environments. To date, there is… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/ijms24065632
Abstract: Thermophilic cyanobacteria are cosmopolitan and abundant in the thermal environment. Their light-harvesting complexes, phycobilisomes (PBS), are highly important in photosynthesis. To date, there is limited information on the PBS composition of thermophilic cyanobacteria whose habitats… read more here.
