Structure, function and regulation of the light antenna in cyanobacteria
Cyanobacteria
Cyanobacteria are unique in the sense that they are prokaryotes that carry out oxygenic photosynthesis equivalent to the one found in higher plants. Thus, they comprise an interesting model system for studies of the evolution, regulation and function of photo-synthesis. They also possess a light antenna, the phycobilisome, that is unique and that may offer interesting possibilities to study photon transport, light regulation and the bio-genesis of soluble, multi-protein complexes.

Stress and adaptation mechanisms in photosynthesis
Scientific objectives
The long term goal of the research is a mechanistic understanding of
how photosynthesis acclimates to overcome environmental stresses
limiting plant performance. Particular attention is paid to the
function of the two photosystems, energy distribution between
photosystems and the intersystem electron transfer in relation to
molecular, organizational and metabolic changes as plants are exposed
to high light intensities, low temperatures, nutritional and water
stress.
