This paper presents a new approach to studying the nano-sac or nano-site of photosystem components in photosynthesis. Instead of analyzing bulk colonies of cells or using complicated biological pigment isolation procedures, hyperspectral characterization is used to investigate individual algal cells. This method eliminates the need for bulk characterization and allows for a more precise analysis of the PS-II nano-sac/nano-sites. The results of the hyperspectral studies using Cytoviva™ are presented in this paper.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
