This paper quantifies how CurT protein levels affect thylakoid structure and PSII performance in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803, revealing a logarithmic relationship between CurT abundance and photosynthetic efficiency.

Disruption of KEA-mediated chloroplast ion homeostasis in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii reveals conserved and lineage-specific control of plastid rRNA processing and cell cycle progression.

The paper shows that two marine bacteria and a microalga form a tripartite synergy where they exchange metabolites to enhance each other's growth and fitness.

The Chlamydomonas psb28 mutant shows severe PSII assembly defects, and complexome profiling identifies TEF5 as a novel PSII assembly factor involved in CP47 assembly.
