Photosynthetic state transition
text:
In photosynthesis, state transitions are rearrangements of the photosynthetic apparatus which occur on short time-scales. The effect is prominent in cyanobacteria, whereby the phycobilisome light-harvesting antenna complexes alter their preference for transfer of excitation energy between the two reaction centers, PS I and PS II. This shift helps to minimize photodamage caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS) under stressful conditions such as high light, but may also be used to offset imbalance
