Green light enhanced the photostability and catalytic performance of fatty acid photodecarboxylase.

Green light was documented to improve the photostability of fatty acid photodecarboxylase from Chlorella variabilis ( Cv FAP). Compared to blue light, green light increased the pentadecane yield by 27.6% and improved the residual activity of Cv FAP to 5.9-fold after the preillumination. Kinetics and thermodynamics indicated that blue light facilitated a high Cv FAP activity.
