Photosynthesis: The paradox of carbon dioxide efflux
نویسنده
چکیده
The discovery that photosynthetic marine cyanobacteria can actually leak CO2 has been predicted from theory but, until now, never experimentally demonstrated. The apparent paradox can be explained by known chemistry and biochemistry, but the phenomenon may have important implications for paleoclimatology.

Interactive effects of oxygen, carbon dioxide and flow on photosynthesis and respiration in the scleractinian coral Galaxea fascicularis.
Rates of dark respiration and net photosynthesis were measured for six replicate clonal fragments of the stony coral Galaxea fascicularis (Linnaeus 1767), which were incubated under 12 different combinations of dissolved oxygen (20%, 100% and 150% saturation), dissolved carbon dioxide (9.5 and 19.1 µmol l-1) and water flow (1-1.6 versus 4-13 cm s-1) in a repeated measures design. Dark respirati...
متن کاملPhysiological girdling of pine trees via phloem chilling: proof of concept.
Quantifying below-ground carbon (C) allocation is particularly difficult as methods usually disturb the root-mycorrhizal-soil continuum. We reduced C allocation below ground of loblolly pine trees by: (1) physically girdling trees and (2) physiologically girdling pine trees by chilling the phloem. Chilling reduced cambium temperatures by approximately 18 degrees C. Both methods rapidly reduced ...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the nutritional role and efficiency of nano and micro Si on photosynthetic parameters and pigments of potato leaves (Agria cv.) in soil less culture. The factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted at the research greenhouse, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad in 2013. Treatments were included two s...
متن کاملPhotocatalytic Reduction of CO2 to Formaldehyde: Role of Heterogeneous Photocatalytic Reactions in Origin of Life Hypothesis
Photocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide to formaldehyde was investigated on four semiconductor photocatalysts (FeS, FeS/FeS2, NiO and TiO2). The reaction was carried out in continues flow of CO2 gas bubbled into the reactor. Semiconductor photocatalysts were characterized by X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopic (DRS) methods. Sulfide ion was used as hole scavenger. T...
