Glossary

Microalgae:

As a general terminology, this word covers all the prokaryotic and eukaryotic algae without considering the taxonomic specifications. However, from a taxonomic point of view, it specifically comprises the eukaryotic photosynthetic microorganisms such as green algae and diatoms.

Green algae:

The unicellular or colony-forming single-celled eukaryotic photosynthetic organisms abundant in aquatic environments.

Cyanobacteria:

The unicellular or filamentous single-celled prokaryotic photosynthetic organisms abundant in aquatic environments, also known as blue-green algae.

Photobiological hydrogen production:

The capability of microalgae to catalyze the conversion reaction of H+ to H2 in gas form via hydrogenase enzymes under illuminated conditions.

D1 protein:

A major photosynthetic protein responsible for the constant repair of the photosystem II (PSII) damage from the oxygen generation.

Homologous expression:

The expression of a gene in the same species using...
