It is this light energy that Chlorophyll plants‚ protists (algae) and monerans (bacteria and cyanobacteria) capture and convert to chemical energy through photosynthesis (photo-light; synthesis-building up) ‚ the key process by which energy that ultimately comes from sunlight is supplied to nearly all living systems. Such photosynthetic organisms‚themselves

A cycle is defined as any complete round or series of occurrences that repeats or is repeated in the same order and at the same intervals. The natural existence of cycles is highly important without cycles resources would run out and organisms would die. The amount of carbon nitrogen and oxygen on the earth is fixed‚ they can exists in different forms but no more may be added. So that these don’t run out they are cycles so they may be reused. Photosynthesis and respiration are the reverse of each

3 Domian System of Classification The Earth is 4.6 billion years old and microbial life is thought to have first appeared between 3.8 and 3.9 billion years ago; in fact‚ 80% of Earth’s history was exclusively microbial life. Microbial life is still the dominant life form on Earth. It has been estimated that the total number of microbial cells on Earth on the order of 2.5 X 1030 cells‚ making it the major fraction of biomass on the planet.

into my software pipeline I spent the last two years developing. Minutes later‚ a genome-scale reconstruction of the P. marinus metabolism appeared on my screen. In that moment‚ I knew I was the first person to view the entire metabolism of this cyanobacteria. I remember the chills going down my spine‚ the palpitation of my heart‚ and the rush that comes only from breathing the rarified air of discovery.The original motivation for this research came from a paper written in 1999 called "Towards Metabolic

Reduction of Carbon dioxide greenhouse gas by microalgae fixation leading to biomass‚ biochemical and biofuel production After recognizing that the first and second generation of biodiesels is from sugar‚ vegetable oils and lignocellulosic biomass‚ microalgae are now known as the ‘third generation of biodiesel’. As many studies have told us that microalga is a promising organism for mass production of biomass and biofuel which are renewable and environmental friendly. Microalgae have a higher
