A Dynamic Model of Photoproduction, Photoregulation and Photoinhibition in Microalgae using Chlorophyll Fluorescence

Abstract

Fluorescence is a powerful tool for observing and understanding photosynthetic processes in microalgae. This paper presents a dynamic model describing key photosynthetic processes, whose predictions can be related to the characteristic fluorescence fluxes arising from Pulsed Amplitude Modulation (PAM) protocols. The mechanistic model by Han is used as a building block for predicting photoproduction and photoinhibition, and an extension is …
