image: Engineered diatoms expressing green fluorescent proteins (GFPs) shift the light spectrum intracellularly for enhanced growth performance and energy conversion under high-intensity blue or white light (red fluorescence marks chloroplast). This material relates to a paper that appeared in the Sept. 1, 2017, issue of Science Advances, published by AAAS. The paper, by W. Fu at New York University Abu Dhabi in Abu Dhabi, UAE, and colleagues was titled, 'Intracellular spectral recompositioning of light enhances algal photosynthetic efficiency.' view more
