Spectrally selective fluorescence imaging of Chlorobaculum tepidum reaction centers conjugated to chelator-modified silver nanowires [PDF]
A polyhistidine tag (His-tag) present on Chlorobaculum tepidum reaction centers (RCs) was used to immobilize photosynthetic complexes on a silver nanowire (AgNW) modified with nickel-chelating nitrilo-triacetic acid (Ni-NTA).

On the pathways feeding the H₂ production process in nutrient-replete, hypoxic conditions : commentary on the article 'Low oxygen levels contribute to improve photohydrogen production in mixotrophic non-stressed Chlamydomonas cultures', by Jurado-Oller et al., Biotechnology for Biofuels, published September 7, 2015; 8:149 [PDF]
Background: Under low O-2 concentration ( hypoxia) and low light, Chlamydomonas cells can produce H-2 gas in nutrient-replete conditions. This process is hindered by the presence of O-2, which inactivates the [FeFe]-hydrogenase enzyme responsible for H-2
