Shedding light on blue-green photosynthesis: A wavelength-dependent mathematical model of photosynthesis in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

Systematic analysis of the effect of various light sources on the rate of carbon fixation.
A-D: The light spectra of four light sources used in simulations, including common “white” light LED panels. E: Steady-state flux through the CBB under the lights in A-D, simulated over different light intensities. F,G: Results of Metabolic Control Analysis (MCA) performed for the given light sources with a range of intensities from 80 to 800 μmol(photons) m−2 s−1 to steady-state. By varying the photosystem concentrations and the maximal rate of the CBB by ± 1%, we quantified their control on the CBB flux by calculating flux control coefficients. We display the mean of absolutes of control coefficients. Higher values signify stronger pathway control.
