This section welcomes submissions delving into the intricate mechanisms governing energy conversion and
light capture in photosynthetic prokaryotes, focusing on elucidating the pivotal role of reaction centers
and antennae. We encourage comprehensive explorations of the biochemical and biophysical processes driving
these essential components within prokaryotic cells. Submissions should not only illuminate the structural
and functional aspects of reaction centers and antennae but also investigate their dynamic interplay and
efficiency in energy transduction. Moreover, we seek contributions shedding light on the broader
bioenergetic processes within these organisms, exploring how these systems orchestrate the capture,
conversion, and utilization of light energy to sustain cellular functions.
Attendees of this section are encouraged to explore the metabolic pathways, compound biosynthesis, and the
unique physiological adaptations of photosynthetic prokaryotes. Research examining the biochemical and
physiological aspects defining these microorganisms is warmly welcomed. Contributions should aim to
enhance
our comprehension of the intricate biochemical processes, shedding light on how these organisms adeptly
utilize and modify compounds while thriving in diverse environmental niches. We are particularly
