| Scope |
Contemporary life on Earth has foundations in the dynamic evolution
of photosynthetic processes that convert solar radiation into
biochemical energy. The common perspective on eukaryotic diversity
that existed merely a decade ago has quickly been replaced by new
protistologic perspectives. This renewed horizon depicts that the
mechanisms of photosynthesis, established back in the Archean, has
drifted between various lineages and thereby diversified the whole
spectrum of life on Earth. Most of the modern phototrophic diversity
is found among aquatic microbes. The solar life, which consists of
networks extended from microbial photosynthetic systems, have driven
the evolution of biogeochemical cycles and established the modern
surface systems of our planet. We invite speakers from the forefront
of phototroph research, in order to illustrate the latest overview
of life systems under keywords such as diversity, symbiosis,
biological interactions, and ecosystems. |
