Abstract:Botryococcus braunii (B. braunii) is a green photosynthetic microalga that is highly investigated due to its capacity of hydrocarbon accumulation, secretion, and synthesis. However, its photosynthetic apparatus has not been elucidated. Photosystem I (PSI) is a membrane‐bound pigment‐protein complex that mediates the electron transfer from plastocyanin on the lumenal side to ferredoxin on the cytoplasmic side. In this study, our purpose was to isolate, purify and characterize PSI core subunits and light harvest… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
