Quantum Coherent Excitation Energy Transfer by Carotenoids in Photosynthetic Light Harvesting.

The journal of physical chemistry letters

Roscioli JD, Ghosh S, LaFountain AM, Frank HA, Beck WF.
PMID: 28968122
J Phys Chem Lett. 2017 Oct 19;8(20):5141-5147. doi: 10.1021/acs.jpclett.7b01791. Epub 2017 Oct 06.

It remains an open question whether quantum coherence and molecular excitons created by delocalization of electronic excited states are essential features of the mechanisms that enable efficient light capture and excitation energy transfer to reaction centers in photosynthetic organisms....

Effects of High Temperature Frying of Spinach Leaves in Sunflower Oil on Carotenoids, Chlorophylls, and Tocopherol Composition.

Spinach is one of the highly consumed vegetable, with significant nutritional, and beneficial properties. This study revealed for the first time, the effects of high temperature frying on the carotenoids, chlorophylls, and tocopherol contents of spinach leaves. Spinach leaves...

Localization and Orientation of Xanthophylls in a Lipid Bilayer.

Scientific reports

Grudzinski W, Nierzwicki L, Welc R, Reszczynska E, Luchowski R, Czub J, Gruszecki WI.
PMID: 28852075
Sci Rep. 2017 Aug 29;7(1):9619. doi: 10.1038/s41598-017-10183-7.

Xanthophylls (polar carotenoids) play diverse biological roles, among which are modulation of the physical properties of lipid membranes and protection of biomembranes against oxidative damage. Molecular mechanisms underlying these functions are intimately related to the localization and orientation of...

Morphology and Phylogenetic Position of the Freshwater Green Microalgae Chlorochytrium (Chlorophyceae) and Scotinosphaera (Scotinosphaerales, ord. nov., Ulvophyceae).

Journal of phycology

Škaloud P, Kalina T, Nemjová K, De Clerck O, Leliaert F.
PMID: 27008394
J Phycol. 2013 Feb;49(1):115-29. doi: 10.1111/jpy.12021. Epub 2013 Jan 10.

The green algal family Chlorochytriaceae comprises relatively large coccoid algae with secondarily thickened cell walls. Despite its morphological distinctness, the family remained molecularly uncharacterized. In this study, we investigated the morphology and phylogenetic position of 16 strains determined as...

Effects of UVB Radiation on competition between the bloom-forming cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa and the Chlorophyceae Chlamydomonas microsphaera(1).

Journal of phycology

Zhang Y, Jiang HB, Qiu BS.
