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 ...

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

“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 ...

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, ...

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

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 ...

The bacteria could be grown in space, and lend their photosynthesizing talents to supplying power to the hundreds of ...

A team of scientists with two Department of Energy Bioenergy Research Centers have identified a gene in a poplar tree that ...

Their approach is inspired by the way bacteria and other plants and organisms convert light energy into chemical energy - a process known as photosynthesis. Repurposing natural photosynthetic ...
