Oxygen is a natural acceptor of electrons in the respiratory pathway of aerobic organisms
and in many other biochemical reactions. Aerobic metabolism is always associated with the …

An intensification of toxic cyanobacteria blooms has occurred over the last three decades,
severely affecting coastal and lake water quality in many parts of the world. Extensive …

Global photosynthesis consumes ten times more CO2 than net anthropogenic emissions,
and microalgae account for nearly half of this consumption. The high efficiency of algal …

Plants and algae require light for photosynthesis, but absorption of too much light can lead
to photo‐oxidative damage to the photosynthetic apparatus and sustained decreases in the …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are byproducts of aerobic metabolism and potent agents
that cause oxidative damage. In oxygenic photosynthetic organisms such as cyanobacteria …

Marine picocyanobacteria of the genera Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus numerically
dominate the picophytoplankton of the world ocean, making a key contribution to global …

Cyanobacteria and microalgae perform oxygenic photosynthesis where light energy is
harnessed to split water into oxygen and protons. This process releases electrons that are …

Cyanobacterial flavodiiron proteins (FDPs; A-type flavoprotein, Flv) comprise, besides the β-
lactamase–like and flavodoxin domains typical for all FDPs, an extra NAD (P) H: flavin …

Over the past three decades, massive bleaching events of zooxanthellate corals have been
documented across the range of global distribution. Although the phenomenon is correlated …

Although harmful cyanobacteria form a major threat to water quality, few methods exist for
the rapid suppression of cyanobacterial blooms. Since laboratory studies indicated that …
