Abstract | Photosynthetic efficiency (PE) is key to evaluating phototrophic organisms in biotechnological applications. However, current methods offer limited, indirect insights with poor time resolution. To address this, photo-calorespirometry (Photo-CR) was developed, a novel, non-invasive technique for real-time, direct quantification of photosynthetic energy conversion. Photo-CR simultaneously measures metabolic heat flow and oxygen evolution, capturing both light and dark reactions, including all heat-dissipating side-reactions. Using Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803, it revealed a maximum conserved energy flux of 5.2 ± 0.8W g-1CDW and a light energy yield of 26.4 ± 5.8kJ g-1CDW. A strong correlation between heat and oxygen flux yielded an oxycaloric equivalent of 488.5 ± 0.3kJ mol-1O2 . dynamics, including light saturation and adaptation to fluctuating light, were characterized, showing a maximum PE of 2.3 ± 0.4 % and half-saturation at 360 μmolPhotons m-2 s-1 . Photo-CR integrates thermodynamic and respiratory data, offering novel insights into side-reactions like the Mehler cycle and enabling advanced screening and optimization in photo-biotechnology. |
