Photon statistics and pulsed-light regime in experiments on unicellular algae

Photon arrival time statistics significantly affect the performance of the photosynthetic system under a pulsed-light regime when the average number of photons hitting the Chlorophyll antenna of PS II is small. As a result, the interpretation of measurements of the production rate of biomass or othe...

Sumario:Photon arrival time statistics significantly affect the performance of the photosynthetic system under a pulsed-light regime when the average number of photons hitting the Chlorophyll antenna of PS II is small. As a result, the interpretation of measurements of the production rate of biomass or other products of unicellular algae under a pulsed-light regime and the comparison of the results with those obtained under continuous illumination depends crucially upon accounting for these statistics.
