Chlorophylls and bacteriochlorophylls, together with carotenoids, serve, noncovalently
bound to specific apoproteins, as principal light-harvesting and energy-transforming …

Chlorophyll d and chlorophyll f are red-shifted chlorophylls, because their Qy absorption
bands are significantly red-shifted compared with chlorophyll a. The red-shifted chlorophylls …

A single-source reference on the biology of algae, the third edition of Algae: Anatomy,
Biochemistry, and Biotechnology examines the most important taxa and structures for …

Both chlorophyll f and chlorophyll d are red-shifted chlorophylls in oxygenic photosynthetic
organisms, which extend photon absorbance into the near infrared region. This expands the …

Plants and cyanobacteria use the chlorophylls embedded in their photosystems to absorb
photons and perform charge separation, the first step of converting solar energy to chemical …

Cyanobacteriochromes (CBCRs) are linear tetrapyrrole-binding photoreceptors in
cyanobacteria that absorb visible and near-ultraviolet light. CBCRs are divided into two …

Photosystem I (PSI) of the cyanobacterium Acaryochloris marina is capable of performing an
efficient photoelectrochemical conversion of far-red light due to its unique suite of cofactors …

Photosystem I (PSI) is a large protein supercomplex that catalyzes the light‐dependent
oxidation of plastocyanin (or cytochrome c6) and the reduction of ferredoxin. This catalytic …

Acaryochloris marina is a unique cyanobacterium using chlorophyll d (Chl d) as its major
pigment and thus can use far-red light for photosynthesis. Photosystem II (PSII) of A. marina …

The discovery of the chlorophyll d-containing cyanobacterium Acaryochloris marina in 1996
precipitated a shift in our understanding of oxygenic photosynthesis. The presence of the red …
