Diatom phytochromes integrate the entire visible light spectra for photosensing in marine environments

This study shows marine diatom phytochromes respond to the entire visible light spectrum, challenging existing models of phytochrome photosensing in marine environments.

Hypometabolism to survive the long polar night in the diatom Fragilariopsis cylindrus

This study shows polar diatoms enter a quiescent state during prolonged darkness, relying on autophagy and stored energy to survive, and rapidly resume photosynthesis when light returns.

Complementary environmental analysis and functional characterization of a plastid diatom lower glycolytic-gluconeogenesis pathway

The paper characterizes a plastid glycolytic-gluconeogenesis pathway in diatoms, showing its functional roles and environmental regulation.

Impaired photoprotection in Phaeodactylum tricornutum KEA3 mutants reveals the proton regulatory circuit of diatoms light acclimation.

The paper identifies KEA3 as the main regulator of the PET/PMF relationship in diatoms, showing its role in modulating NPQ responses and light acclimation.

ECS-based investigation of chloroplast ATP synthase regulation

This paper investigates chloroplast ATP synthase regulation in Arabidopsis using in vivo absorption spectroscopy, showing the {gamma}-subunit exists mostly oxidized in dark-adapted leaves and its redox state affects ATP synthesis efficiency.

Mediator-Microorganism Interaction in Microbial Solar Cell: a Fluo-Electrochemical Insight

The paper develops an electrochemical-fluorescence method to study mediator-microorganism interactions in microbial solar cells, showing that non-photochemical quenching correlates with photocurrent.

Cyclic electron flow in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

This study measures cyclic electron flow (CEF) in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii using spectroscopic methods, showing it operates at a constant rate regardless of oxygen concentration and revealing inconsistencies in proposed CEF pathways.
