Abstract The recent increase of interest in photocatalysis spread to biocatalysis and triggered a rush for the development light‐dependent enzyme‐mediated or enzyme‐coupled processes. After several years intense research on photobiocatalysis, it is time evaluate state field structured manner. In this Perspective, we suggest group photobiocatalysis into distinct disciplines provide principal guidelines standards reporting photobiocatalytic results as well advice performing reactions. Overall,...

Abstract Astaxanthin is a ketocarotenoid produced by photosynthetic microalgae. It pigment of high industrial interest in acquaculture, cosmetics, and nutraceutics due to its strong antioxidant power. Haematococcus pluvialis , fresh-water microalga, accumulates levels astaxanthin upon oxidative stress, reaching values up 5% per dry weight. H. oil droplets the cytoplasm, while chloroplast volume reduced. In this work, we investigate biochemical spectroscopic properties binding complexes...
