Excess manganese increases photosynthetic activity via enhanced reducing center and antenna plasticity in Chlorella vulgaris

Abstract Photosynthesis relies on many easily oxidizable/reducible transition metals found in the metalloenzymes that make up much of the photosynthetic electron transport chain (ETC). One of these is manganese, an essential cofactor of photosystem II (PSII) and a component of the oxygen-evolving co...
