Journal ArticleDOI
Truncated Photosystem Chlorophyll Antenna Size in the Green Microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii upon Deletion of the TLA3-CpSRP43 Gene
TL;DR: This work demonstrates that cpsrp43 deletion in green microalgae can be employed to generate tla mutants with a substantially diminished Chl antenna size, which exhibit improved solar energy conversion efficiency and photosynthetic productivity under mass culture and bright sunlight conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assembly of the light-harvesting chlorophyll antenna in the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii requires expression of the TLA2-CpFTSY gene
TL;DR: The work shows that cpftsy deletion in green algae, but not in higher plants, can be employed to generate tla mutants, the latter exhibit improved solar energy conversion efficiency and photosynthetic productivity under mass culture and bright sunlight conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The comprehensive maps of functional chromatin signatures in a major clade of eukaryotic life and the discovery of a transcriptional regulator of algal lipid metabolism will facilitate targeted engineering strategies to mediate high lipid production in microalgae.
Journal ArticleDOI
The PsbW protein stabilizes the supramolecular organization of photosystem II in higher plants
José G. García-Cerdán,László Kovács,Tuende Toth,Sami Kereiche,Elena Aseeva,Egbert J. Boekema,Fikret Mamedov,Christiane Funk,Wolfgang P. Schröder +8 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the PsbW protein is located close to the minor antenna of the PSII complex, and is important for the contact and stability between several PSII-LHCII supercomplexes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Paradigm of Monoterpene (β-phellandrene) Hydrocarbons Production via Photosynthesis in Cyanobacteria
TL;DR: The work showed that oxygenic photosynthesis can be directed to generate monoterpene hydrocarbons, while consuming CO2, without a prior requirement for the harvesting, dewatering, and processing of the respective biomass.
