Many trace metals are essential micronutrients, but also potent toxins. Due to natural and
anthropogenic causes, vastly different trace metal concentrations occur in various habitats …

Oxygenic photosynthesis is the principal converter of sunlight into chemical energy on Earth.
Cyanobacteria and plants provide the oxygen, food, fuel, fibers, and platform chemicals for …

Extensively revised, the fourth edition of this highly successful book takes into account the
many newly determined protein structures that provide molecular insight into chemiosmotic …

Photosynthetic pigment composition has been a major study target in plant ecophysiology
during the last three decades. Although more than 2000 papers have been published, a …

Carotenoids (CARs) are a group of pigments that perform several important physiological
functions in all kingdoms of living organisms. CARs serve as protective agents, which are …

During oxygenic photosynthesis, photosystems I and II (PSI and PSII) are essential for light-
driven electron transport. Excitation energy transfer in PSI occurs extremely quickly, making …

Ferredoxin (Fd) is a small [2Fe‐2S] cluster‐containing protein found in all organisms
performing oxygenic photosynthesis. Fd is the first soluble acceptor of electrons on the …

Diatom is an important group of marine algae and contributes to around 20% of the global
photosynthetic carbon fixation. Photosystem I (PSI) of diatoms is associated with a large …

This review focuses on the light-harvesting properties of photosystem I (PSI) and its LHCI
outer antenna. LHCI consists of different chlorophyll a/b binding proteins called Lhca's …

Chlorophylls are a fundamental class of tetrapyrroles and function as the central reaction
center, accessory and photoprotective pigments in photosynthesis. Their unique individual …
