“…Highly efficient light capture by large antenna, even though wasteful, confers a selective advantage in mixed species populations by limiting light availability for competing species as well as facilitating light capture at low light flux densities deep in the canopy or water column (Blankenship et al, 2011). However, the very large apparent optical cross sections of light-harvesting complexes trap substantially more photons than accommodated by the photosynthetic electron transfer apparatus (Perrine et al, 2012). Indeed, at full sunlight intensities the rate of photon capture is 10-fold faster than the rate-limiting step (1-10 ms) in electron transfer associated with plastohydroquinol oxidation by the cytochrome b6f complex (Perrine et al, 2012).…”

“…Engineering "intermediate" antenna sizes in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii improved photosynthetic rates and biomass yields on the order of 10-30% in laboratory cultures (Polle et al, 2001;Mussgnug et al, 2005;Melis, 2009;Perrine et al, 2012). To achieve an intermediate antenna size, the synthesis of Chl b, which is bound only to the peripheral light-harvesting antenna complex proteins, was reduced by inhibiting the synthesis of Chl a oxygenase, the enzyme that converts Chl a into Chl b, using RNAi technology (Perrine et al, 2012). Most recently, this approach to reduce antenna size, and thus increase biomass productivity, was performed in C. sorokiniana, where UV mutagenesis was utilized to isolate truncated antenna mutants (Cazzaniga et al, 2014).…”
