Active noise of Chlorella in photosynthesis

ORAL

Abstract

Microalgae involve complex chemical reactions both for photosynthesis and internal metabolism. It is attractive while challenging to comprehensively understand the orchestration of these processes which act as the building blocks to construct the living systems. Here in our study, taking Chlorella Vulgaris as an example, we observed the “active color noises” produced by microalgae due to the external photoactivation which then affects their dynamical behaviors correspondingly. By tracing these “active color noises”, we may shade light into the cells which help us further understand the complex behaviors of living materials.
