Section Title:
Photosynthetic Strategies
Section Info:
Title: A Molecular Survey of Photosynthetic Diversity Nature has evolved distinct and elaborate ways to capture energy from the sun and to convert that energy into chemical form. Photosynthetic organisms achieve this feat through molecular mechanisms designed to optimize light harvesting, photoprotection, and carbon fixation in their native environments. This course explores the common themes of these mechanisms, as well as features unique to diverse photosynthetic lineages represented in the tree of life. By expanding our understanding of how different organisms use the resources available in their environments, we can begin to design and adapt these solutions to new engineered scenarios, like artificial growth environments for plants and algae.
