Bioreceptivity of building stones: A review
In 1995, Guillitte defined bioreceptivity, a new term in ecology, as the ability of a material to
be colonized by living organisms. Information about the bioreceptivity of stone is of great …

Adaptive and acclimative responses of cyanobacteria to far‐red light
Cyanobacteria use three major photosynthetic complexes, photosystem (PS) I, PS II and
phycobilisomes, to harvest and convert sunlight into chemical energy. Until recently, it was …
