Sentences with word «oxygenic»

Think of all the work on the Neoproterozoic Snowball Earth, the evolution of oxygenic photosynthesis on the Early Earth and its role in the transition from a methane - dominated to a CO2 - dominated greenhouse, Martian paleoclimate, the climate of Venus and Titan, the nature of the glacial - interglacial cycles, and so many more.

The cyanobacterium Acaryochloris marina is being studied as a model organism for alternative pigment signatures of oxygenic photosynthesis adapted, for example, to the light of red dwarf stars.

The researchers are exploring how this protein functions at the crossroad of calcium - and redox - dependent reactions to promote efficient oxygenic photosynthesis.

Calcium is an essential element in oxygenic photosynthesis and also critically involved in the regulation of high light stress.

To cope with varying light intensities, oxygenic photosynthetic organisms have evolved acclimation strategies that are aimed to optimize photosynthetic performance and diminish oxidative stress.

The conversion of solar energy into chemical energy and building material from inorganic compounds by oxygenic photosynthesis supports much of the life on this planet.

The atmosphere was essentially anoxic until oxygenic photosynthesis followed by organic carbon burial in sediments produced enough O2 to oxidize the Fe2 + in the ocean to Fe oxides (banded iron formations), plus oxidize sulfur to dissolved sulfate in the oceans.

Simple biogeochemical flux modeling suggests that, if the Archean Earth was kept warm by a methane greenhouse, then the evolution of oxygenic photosynthesis could have triggered a Snowball Earth event on a time scale as short as about a million years (Kopp et al., 2005).

Thereby Calredoxin functions at the crossroad of calcium - and redox - dependent reactions to promote efficient oxygenic photosynthesis.

The symposium lectures given by renowned specialists in the field will focus on recent progress in the knowledge of structure, biogenesis and function of important pigment — protein complexes participating in oxygenic and anoxygenic photosynthesis.

«The only reason we have a well - oxygenated planet we can live on is because of oxygenic photosynthesis,» Planavsky said.

But scientists are confident that oxygenic photosynthesis evolved only this one time in Earth's history, only in cyanobacteria, and all plants and other beings on Earth that photosynthesize coopted the development.

In the couple of billion years that followed, their oxygenic exhaust fumes slowly did the job.

The evolution of oxygenic photosynthesis and...
