Photosynthetic Pigments

The reduced photosynthetic efficiency is associated with the impacts of heavy metals on the important components of photosynthetic machinery. The foremost is water-splitting complex, which has been reported to be the most labile component for metal toxicity at lower doses and at higher concentrations the toxicity is mediated beyond the OEC (oxygen-evolving complex) and PS II ( Prasad et al Get price

PIF1 Regulates Plastid Development by Repressing

PIFs promote hypocotyl negative gravitropism by maintaining endodermal amyloplasts. We report that endodermal expression of RPGE1, a direct target of PIF1, rescues the elevated expression of photosynthetic genes in the pif quadruple mutant and partly restores amyloplast development and hypocotyl negative gravitropism. Our results indicate that RPGE1 acts downstream of PIF1 in the Get price

Aphotic pigment degradation in the hypolimnion:

β‐carotene degraded less rapidly and variably (to −0.0167 d −1) and is a useful addition to both sedimentation and paleolimnological studies.

Cyanobacteria were the first organisms to develop oxygenic photosynthesis using water as a source of electrons. Today they remain widespread primary photosynthetic producers and hold a high biotechnological potential.

3. Wastewater treatment

Primary sedimentation tanks or clarifiers may be round or rectangular basins, typically 3 to 5 m deep, with hydraulic retention time between 2 and 3 hours. Settled solids (primary sludge) are normally removed from the bottom of tanks by sludge rakes that scrape the sludge to a central well from which it is pumped to sludge processing units. Get price

Sedimentation has the advantage of low capital expenditure and low energy consumption during operation compared with flotation. However, the ability of cyanobacteria such as Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 and Synechococcus sp. strain PCC 7002 to rise to the surface of an open container ( Fig. 4 ) suggests that flotation strategies such as dissolved air flotation can help achieve high Get price

Photosynthetic nitrogen-use efficiency (PNUE) is an index of resource-use efficiency and can be estimated as the ratio of photosynthetic capacity to leaf N content. PNUE measured for mangroves (e.g., Alongi et al. 2005 ) is amongst the highest recorded for trees, reflecting a high level of adaptation to growth under nutrient-limited conditions (reviewed in Feller et al. 2009 a ).

MODERN APPLICATIONS OF ANALYTICAL

Analytical ultracentrifugation is a classical method of biochemistry and molecular biology. Because it is a primary technique, sedimentation can provide first-principle hydrodynamic and first-principle thermodynamic information for nearly any molecule, in a wide range of solvents and over a wide range of solute concentrations. For many questions, it is the technique of choice. This review Get price
