“…Cyanobacteria, also known as blue–green algae, are different from bacteria because they contain thylakoids and photosynthetic pigments, which can produce oxygen through photosynthesis. Cyanobacteria are single-celled prokaryotes with simple structures and strong reproductive ability, so they are widely used in research on algal photosynthetic oxygen production [ 60 ]. Spirulina and Synechococcus elongatus are typical representatives [ 53 , 61 ].…”

The hypoxic environment is among the most important factors that complicates the healing of chronic wounds, such as venous leg ulcers, pressure injuries and diabetic foot ulcers, which seriously affects the quality of life of patients. Various oxygen supply treatments are used in clinical practice to improve the hypoxic environment at the wound site. However, problems still occur, such as insufficient oxygen supply, short oxygen infusion time and potential biosafety risks. In recent years, artificial photosynthetic systems have become a research hotspot in the fields of materials and energy. Photosynthesis is expected to improve the oxygen level at wound sites and promote wound healing because the method provides a continuous oxygen supply and has good biosafety. In this paper, oxygen treatment methods for wounds are reviewed, and the oxygen supply principle and construction of artificial photosynthesis systems are described. Finally, research progress on the photosynthetic oxygen production system to promote wound healing is summarized.
