title: Alleviation of high light-induced photoinhibition in cyanobacteria by artificially conferred biosilica shells.
abstract: Bioinspired by diatoms, biomimetic silicification confers an artificial shell on cyanobacteria to alleviate photoinhibition; thus, the photosynthesis of the resulting cyanobacteria@SiO2 becomes more efficient under high light conditions.
