The finding of unique Chl d-and Chl f-containing cyanobacteria in the last decade was a
discovery in the area of biology of oxygenic photosynthetic organisms. Chl b, Chl c, and Chl f …

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 …

We provide a new and definitive spectral assignment for the absorption, emission, high-
resolution fluorescence excitation, linear dichroism, and/or magnetic circular dichroism …

The composition of photosystem II (PSII) in the chlorophyll (Chl) d-dominated
cyanobacterium Acaryochloris marina MBIC 11017 was investigated to enhance the general …

Water oxidation by photosystem (PS) II in oxygenic photosynthetic organisms is a major
source of energy on the earth, leading to the production of a stable reductant. Mechanisms …

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 …

Certain cyanobacteria can thrive in environments enriched in far-red light (700–800 nm) due
to an acclimation process known as far-red light photoacclimation (FaRLiP). During FaRLiP …

Photo-induced triplet states in the thylakoid membranes isolated from the cyanobacterium
Acaryocholoris marina, that harbours Chlorophyll (Chl) d as its main chromophore, have …

Reaction center chlorophylls (Chls) in photosystems II and I were studied in the isolated
thylakoid membranes of a cyanobacterium, Acaryochloris marina, which contains Chls d and …

In this review, we described the biological characteristics of a cyanobacterium Acaryochloris
marina and a unicellular cyanobacterium strain KC1 and the possible photosynthetic …
