Phycobiliproteins (PBPs) are fluorescent proteins of various colors, including fuchsia, purple-
blue and cyan, that allow the capture of light energy in auxiliary photosynthetic complexes …

Phycocyanin isolated from marine organisms has the characteristics of high efficiency and
low toxicity, and it can be used as a functional food. It has been reported that phycocyanin …

Phycobilisomes (PBS) are the major light-harvesting machineries for photosynthesis in
cyanobacteria and red algae and they have a hierarchical structure of a core and peripheral …

Phycocyanin (PC) is one of the main pigments of the algae Spirulina, which is used as a
dietary supplement due to its high protein content. PC is a protein from the phycobiliprotein …

Cyanobacteria and red-algae share a common light-harvesting complex which is different
than all other complexes that serve as photosynthetic antennas–the Phycobilisome (PBS) …

Phycobilisomes (PBSs) are light-harvesting antennae that transfer energy to photosynthetic
reaction centers in cyanobacteria and red algae. PBSs are supermolecular complexes …

Phycobilisomes (PBSs) are extremely large chromophore–protein complexes on the stromal
side of the thylakoid membrane in cyanobacteria and red algae. The main function of PBSs …

Cyanobacteria, glaucophytes, and rhodophytes utilize giant, light-harvesting phycobilisomes
(PBSs) for capturing solar energy and conveying it to photosynthetic reaction centers. PBSs …

Abstract C-phycocyanin (CPC), a blue pigment protein, is an indispensable component of
giant phycobilisomes, which are light-harvesting antenna complexes in cyanobacteria that …

In cyanobacteria, photoprotection from overexcitation of photochemical centers can be
obtained by excitation energy dissipation at the level of the phycobilisome (PBS), the …
