This study presents molecular structures of PSI-PtNP biohybrids to reveal design principles for optimizing solar-fuel production through protein-nanoparticle interfaces and electron transfer efficiency.

The paper shows that different strains of Acaryochloris marina achieve red-shifted chlorophyll d-based photosynthesis through varied low-energy chlorophyll states in Photosystem I, not a single conserved motif.

The paper presents cryo-EM structures of Photosystem I with alternative quinones, revealing asymmetry in quinone binding and exchange.

This study identifies two mechanisms of MICP in Anabaena, showing how mechanical stress and heterocyst-calcite contact drive calcium carbonate precipitation.

The paper develops ML models for segmenting and classifying cyanobacterial cells, showing improved performance over traditional methods in dense colonies and artifact resistance.
