Carbon Metabolic Pathways in Phototrophic Bacteria and Their Broader Evolutionary Implications
Photosynthesis is the biological process that converts solar energy to biomass, bio-products, and biofuel. It is the only major natural solar energy storage mechanism on Earth. To satisfy the increased demand for sustainable energy sources and identify the mechanism of photosynthetic carbon assimilation, which is one of the bottlenecks in photosynthesis, it is essential to understand the proces...
متن کاملC-based metabolomics and fluxomics
Photosynthesis is the process to convert solar energy to biomass and biofuels, which are the only major solar energy storage means on Earth. To satisfy the increased demand for sustainable energy sources, it is essential to understand the process of solar energy storage, that is, the carbon metabolism in photosynthetic organisms. It has been well-recognized that one bottleneck of photosynthesis...
متن کاملThe long-range organization of a native photosynthetic membrane.
Photosynthesis relies on the delicate interplay between a specific set of membrane-bound pigment-protein complexes that harvest and transport solar energy, execute charge separation, and conserve the energy. We have investigated the organization of the light-harvesting (LH) and reaction-center (RC) complexes in native bacterial photosynthetic membranes of the purple bacterium Rhodobacter sphaer...
متن کاملPhotochemistry: let there be light--but not too much.
I t is hoped that artificial photosynthetic systems will one day be able to harness some of the energy in sunlight for applications such as solar energy, optoelectronics and molecular machines. For this to happen, however, these systems must be able to harvest the light, separate the electrons and ‘holes’ formed when the light is absorbed, and then transport these charges to places where they a...
متن کاملEnergy conversion in Purple Bacteria Photosynthesis
The study of how photosynthetic organisms convert light offers insight not only into nature’s evolutionary process, but may also give clues as to how best to design and manipulate artificial photosynthetic systems – and also how far we can drive natural photosynthetic systems beyond normal operating conditions, so that they can harvest energy for us under otherwise extreme conditions. In additi...
