Functional divergence of LhcSR and PsbS in zeaxanthin‐mediated non‐photochemical quenching
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary To protect photosystem II from excess light, non‐photochemical quenching (NPQ) dissipates excess energy as heat. NPQ relies on trigger proteins, LhcSR in algae and PsbS in vascular plants, and the light‐regulated xanthophyll cycle, which interconverts violaxanthin and zeaxanthin through the opposite activities of violaxanthin de‐epoxidase and ...

Enhancing CRISPR/Cas‐Mediated Gene Knockout With Short Non‐Homologous Oligonucleotides
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a model green microalga that has great industrial potential as a sustainable bio‐factory for recombinant protein and high‐value chemical production. Efficient genome editing tools are required to redesign this organism for synthetic biology applications. CRISPR‐Cas editing technologies have already been adapted for

Length-dependent disassembly maintains four different flagellar lengths in Giardia. [PDF]
, 2019 With eight flagella of four different lengths, the parasitic protist Giardia is an ideal model to evaluate flagellar assembly and length regulation. To determine how four different flagellar lengths are maintained, we used live-cell quantitative imaging ...

Plants synthesize ergothioneine, showing a link to abiotic stress
Plant Biology, EarlyView.Various plants possess ergothioneine biosynthetic genes and can synthesize this antioxidant, where increased EGT levels under abiotic stress conditions indicate protective functions. Abstract Ergothioneine (EGT) is a sulphur‐containing histidine derivative and a potent antioxidant that exhibits beneficial effects on human health.

Alternative outlets for sustaining photosynthetic electron transport during dark-to-light transitions. [PDF]
, 2019 Environmental stresses dramatically impact the balance between the production of photosynthetically derived energetic electrons and Calvin-Benson-Bassham cycle (CBBC) activity; an imbalance promotes accumulation of reactive oxygen species and causes cell

Sustainable Food Proteins, Volume 4, Issue 2, June 2026.Despite its considerable potential as a functional food ingredient, T. obliquus faces a major limitation in protein recovery due to the rigidity of its cell wall. In the microalgae industry, protein extraction typically involves two main steps: cell disruption and protein extraction.

Control Strategies in Guanine Biocrystallization
Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 18, 27 April 2026.Biological guanine crystals produce spectacular photonic phenomena in animals and hold great promise as new, sustainable optical materials. We review how organisms precisely control the structure, morphologies, and resulting optical properties of these crystals using a set of ingenious ‘design’ strategies, including control of pH, template‐directed ...

A tale of three taxes: photo-gyro-gravitactic bioconvection [PDF]
, 2011 The term bioconvection encapsulates the intricate patterns in concentration, due to hydrodynamic instabilities, that may arise in suspensions of non-neutrally buoyant, biased swimming microorganisms. The directional bias may be due to light (phototaxis),
