This study identifies three photoprotective mechanisms in diatoms under light stress: detachment of oxygen-evolving complex proteins, NPQ in the antenna, and energy spillover between photosystems.

This study shows that CreNADK2 localizes to both chloroplasts and mitochondria in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, and its absence impairs mitochondrial NADP(H) synthesis, TCA cycle function, and heterotrophic growth.

A genome-wide CRISPR screen in diatoms identifies genes critical for survival under different light conditions, including a novel gene involved in cyclic electron flow.

This study shows that the CO2 concentrating mechanism in cyanobacteria enhances the speed of the nitrogen deprivation response by increasing Rubisco carboxylation rates.

The paper shows that photosynthetic electron flows in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii have distinct bandwidths for responding to light fluctuations, with PCEF and CMEF specialized for fast fluctuations.

This study identifies a mitochondrial carrier transporter in diatoms that facilitates energy exchange between mitochondria and plastids, supporting photosynthesis.

This study identifies LHL4 as a photoprotective protein in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii that prevents photodamage to photosystem II by binding its monomeric form and reducing singlet oxygen accumulation.

The paper shows that two uL18 ribosomal proteins in Arabidopsis have evolved to function as splicing factors for organellar introns instead of ribosome components.
