发现微藻以极小的光线进行光合作,有可能使粮食生产和室内耕作发生革命性变化。 Microalgae found to photosynthesize with minimal light, potentially revolutionizing food production and indoor farming.
一项在"自然通讯"上发表的研究显示,微藻可以在近乎黑暗的环境中进行光合作用,需要最小的光线 (0.04微摩尔的光子m-2/s-1),远远低于以前的想法. A study in *Nature Communications* reveals that microalgae can photosynthesize in near-darkness, requiring minimal light (0.04 micromoles of photons m⁻²/s⁻¹), significantly less than previously thought. 这一发现可能导致作物在阳光很少的情况下蓬勃生长,提高低光地区的粮食生产,减少室内农业的能源使用。 This finding may lead to crops that thrive with little sunlight, enhancing food production in low-light regions and reducing energy use in indoor farming. 它还为增加空间工厂提供了潜力,以应对长期任务的挑战。 It also offers potential for growing plants in space, addressing challenges for long-term missions.
