Over four months of ethylene production: Unlocking the potential of solid-state photosynthetic cell factories

This study demonstrates solid-state photosynthetic cell factories can produce ethylene for over four months, outperforming suspension cultures in yield and sustainability.

PGR5 is needed for redox-dependent regulation of ATP synthase both in chloroplasts and in cyanobacteria

This study shows PGR5 regulates ATP synthase activity in photosynthetic organisms under fluctuating light through a thiol redox mechanism, contributing to photoprotection.

A conserved photosynthetic cytochrome enhances growth of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii in fluctuating light

This study shows that cytochrome c6A enhances growth of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii under fluctuating light by maintaining light harvesting balance between photosystems I and II.

The role of the LysR-type transcription factor PacR in regulating nitrogen metabolism in Anabaena sp. PCC7120

This study investigates the role of PacR in nitrogen metabolism in Anabaena sp. PCC7120, showing that its deletion leads to heterocyst formation, reduced growth, and impaired nitrogen assimilation.

Plastoquinone redox status influences carboxysome integrity via a RpaA- and ROS-dependent regulatory network

The paper shows that plastoquinone redox status affects carboxysome integrity through a RpaA- and ROS-dependent network in cyanobacteria.

Strong heterologous electron sink outcompetes alternative electron transport pathways in photosynthesis

The paper demonstrates that a heterologous electron sink outcompetes natural electron transport pathways in engineered cyanobacteria, revealing FNR as the preferred route for electron delivery and highlighting the NADPH/NADP+ ratio's role in electron flux.
