The aim of this project is to characterise modifications to the light dependent reactions of photosynthesis of simple, single cell organisms that live under harsh environmental conditions including: i) elevated temperature; ii) low, variable and low energy (red) light; iii) arid and variable hydration; and iv) chemical stress e.g. low pH. In a changing biosphere brought about by anthropological climate change, a better understanding of existing adaptions of bacterial photosynthetic organisms may allow more resilient crops and other essential plants to be developed in the future. The project brings together an international consortium of world renowned experts across key aspects of photosynthesis.

该项目的目的是表征生活在恶劣环境条件下的简单单细胞生物光合作用的光依赖性反应的变化，包括：i）高温； ii) 低、可变和低能量（红）光； iii) 干旱且多变的水合作用； iv) 化学应力，例如低pH值。在人类气候变化带来的生物圈变化中，更好地了解细菌光合生物的现有适应可能有助于在未来开发出更具弹性的作物和其他重要植物。该项目汇集了光合作用关键领域的世界知名专家组成的国际联盟。
