Harnessing photosynthesis to produce electricity using cyanobacteria, green algae, seaweeds and plants

Yaniv Shlosberg et al.

Summary: The potential of converting solar energy into electrical current through photosynthetic organisms can produce clean energy. Researchers are exploring the use of photosynthesis to create bio-photoelectrochemical cells (BPECs) that transform light energy into electricity. Different materials like plants, seaweeds, unicellular photosynthetic microorganisms, and thylakoid membranes have been studied to construct efficient and non-polluting BPECs for green energy production. However, there are challenges such as the need for specific conditions, sensitivity to photoinhibition and other stresses, and electron extraction.

Acclimation of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii to extremely strong light

Olli Virtanen et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that algae adapted to extreme high light can grow and thrive in such conditions, potentially involving genetic or epigenetic variations. In addition, extreme light acclimation is associated with a high carotenoid-to-chlorophyll ratio, slowed down PSII charge recombination reactions, and reduced levels of O-1(2).

Loss of carbonic anhydrase in the thylakoid lumen causes unusual moderate-light-induced rearrangement of the chloroplast in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii as a way of photosystem II photoprotection

Vasily V. Terentyev

Summary: The study reveals that the mutant cai3 in C. reinhardtii cells exhibits an unusual chloroplast morphology under moderate light, deficiency in CAH3 leads to an increase in PSII photoprotective mechanisms, and a shift in the balance of the PSII damage-repair cycle.

LPA2 protein is involved in photosystem II assembly in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

Michela Cecchin et al.

Summary: This study generated lpa2 knockout mutants in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii using the CRISPR-Cas9 system and found that the absence of LPA2 protein resulted in impaired PSII assembly and function, leading to compromised photoautotrophic growth.
