PHOTONICS investigates the mechanisms of photoinhibition in photosynthetic microbes, focusing on the damage to the Photosystem II enzyme. The project combines advanced techniques to understand how these organisms cope with light-induced stress.
Photosynthetic microbes contribute over 50% of carbon fixation on Earth.
Inhabiting extremely diverse environments, they always have to cope with a friend that is simultaneously their enemy: sunlight.
Photon energy is necessary for photosynthesis, but it continuously damages the photosynthetic apparatus, primarily the first enzyme in oxygenic photosynthesis Photosystem II (PSII) in the process of photoinhibition.
Upon photodamage, PSII becomes irreversibly inactivated, unable to do electron tr…
