Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae and certain types of bacteria synthesise carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and typically water, using light as an energy source. The process ...

It also excites electrons from absorbed photons to provide additional electrons for the photosynthetic electron transport chain, thus improving the photosynthesis efficiency. The researchers put the ...

This discovery sheds new light on the Great Oxidation Event, a period approximately 2.3 to 2.4 billion years ago when cyanobacteria began producing significant amounts of oxygen through photosynthesis ...

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 ...

restricting activity of cyanobacteria, a group of bacteria capable of photosynthesis," said Professor Eiichi Tajika from the Department of Earth and Planetary Science at the University of Tokyo.
