A new study from Osaka Metropolitan University reveals how a freshwater alga extends its reach into far-red light by ...

To survive in areas where it is difficult to photosynthesize, some organisms adopt unique strategies. Osaka Metropolitan University researchers have found that a freshwater alga captures far-red light ...

This single-celled alga harvests far-red light by organizing chlorophyll molecules into large, cooperative clusters within its photosynthetic antenna. To survive in areas where it is difficult to ...

Chlorophyll is the natural compound present in green plants that gives them their color. It helps plants to absorb energy from the sun as they undergo the process of photosynthesis. This nutrient is ...

Oxygenic photosynthesis, a cornerstone of terrestrial and aquatic life, has long been associated with the absorption of visible light by chlorophyll a and ...

Chlorophyll is the green pigment found in plants that absorbs the light used to power photosynthesis, explains Barry Logan, Bowdoin’s Samuel S. Butcher Professor in the Natural Sciences. “Curiously, ...
