Journal ArticleDOI
An ancient light-harvesting protein is critical for the regulation of algal photosynthesis
Graham Peers,Thuy B. Truong,Thuy B. Truong,Elisabeth Ostendorf,Andreas Busch,Dafna Elrad,Arthur R. Grossman,Michael Hippler,Krishna K. Niyogi,Krishna K. Niyogi +9 more
TL;DR: Data indicate that plants and algae use different proteins to dissipate harmful excess light energy and protect the photosynthetic apparatus from damage, demonstrating that LHCSR is required for survival in a dynamic light environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Copper-containing plastocyanin used for electron transport by an oceanic diatom.
Graham Peers,Neil M. Price +1 more
TL;DR: It is reported that the greater Cu requirement in an oceanic diatom, Thalassiosira oceanica, is entirely due to a single Cu-containing protein, plastocyanin, which was only known to exist in organisms with chlorophyll b and cyanobacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Dual Strategy to Cope with High Light in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
Guillaume Allorent,Ryutaro Tokutsu,Thomas Roach,Graham Peers,Pierre Cardol,Jacqueline Girard-Bascou,Daphné Seigneurin-Berny,Dimitris Petroutsos,Marcel Kuntz,Cécile Breyton,Fabrice Franck,Francis-André Wollman,Krishna K. Niyogi,Anja Krieger-Liszkay,Jun Minagawa,Giovanni Finazzi +15 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that besides qE, state transitions also play a photoprotective role during high light acclimation of the cells, most likely by decreasing hydrogen peroxide production.
Journal ArticleDOI
Copper requirements for iron acquisition and growth of coastal and oceanic diatoms
TL;DR: Evidence is obtained that Cu may be an important micronutrient for phytoplankton growth in low-Fe regions of the sea because of its role in Fe acquisition and Paradoxically, oceanic diatoms may be more susceptible to the effects of low Cu concentrations than coastal species.
Journal ArticleDOI
A role for manganese in superoxide dismutases and growth of iron‐deficient diatoms
Graham Peers,Neil M. Price +1 more
TL;DR: It is discovered that coastal and oceanic diatoms require more manganese (Mn) to grow in iron (Fe) -deficient than in Fe-sufficient seawater, which implies that the observed interaction between Fe and Mn is not caused by a substitution of one metal for the other.
