Photosynthesis is one of the most efficient natural processes for converting light energy from the sun into chemical energy ...

At the heart of its solution lies very special microbes — photosynthetic, gram-negative, purple bacteria, such as Rhodovulum sulfidophilum — which have the ability to pull both carbon and ...

“There are many efforts to use photosynthetic bacteria to fix carbon dioxide from the air,” notes Takahashi. “But one of the key reasons we joined the project was unparalleled use of carbon ...

Cyanobacteria use an AM radio-like principle to coordinate cell division with circadian rhythms, encoding information through ...

Photosynthesis, the process by which plants, algae and certain kinds of bacteria convert solar radiation into chemical energy ...

This discovery sheds light on the evolution and adaptation of photosynthetic organisms and could potentially lead to new, ...

PSI is a large protein complex that is found in plants, algae and photosynthetic bacteria. This protein plays a critical role in capturing and converting sunlight into energy. Uniquely, PSI is able to ...

A team of scientists discovered a naturally occurring gene in the poplar tree that enhances photosynthetic activity and ...
