Photosynthetic cells are quite diverse and include cells found in green plants, phytoplankton, and cyanobacteria. During the process of photosynthesis, cells use carbon dioxide and energy from the ...

which remain similar to the cyanobacteria of 3 million years ago. However, the evolution of photosynthesis goes back even further, to the earliest cells that evolved the ability to capture light ...

In a study published today (October 13) in iScience, researchers found a way to harness photosynthesis to supply neurons with oxygen: they injected either cyanobacteria or green algae into Xenopus ...

His research group focuses on the principles and mechanisms underlying the spatial and temporal organization of photosynthesis in cyanobacteria and eukaryotic organelles using synthetic biology and ...

thus improving the photosynthesis efficiency. The researchers put the material into the liquid culture medium of cyanobacteria or sprayed it on plants for experiment. The results show that the ...

Did aerobic metabolism exist before photosynthesis? A newly discovered molecule suggests bacteria could use oxygen before cyanobacteria made it abundant. Life’s oxygen story just got more complex.
