Photoinhibition, UV-B and Algal Photosynthesis

  • Chapter
Photosynthesis in Algae

Part of the book series: Advances in Photosynthesis and Respiration ((AIPH,volume 14))

Summary

Photoautotrophic algae inhabit a dynamic photic zone that changes both in light quantity and quality. Algae possess adaptive mechanisms to maximize light harvesting and to limit damage by excessive amounts of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) and UV radiation in this environment. Strategies for optimizing photosynthetic performance reflect the high degree of diversity in the photosynthetic apparatus of these organisms and go beyond those typically seen in higher plants.
