Mapping the absorption landscape of far-red Photosystem II - Nature Communications
Some cyanobacteria do oxygenic photosynthesis with near-infrared photons using specialized pigments. Here, the authors identify their positions and colors by combining phylogenetic, spectroscopic, and...

The cyanobacterium Acaryochloris marina can photosynthesize using far-red light at the edge of the visible spectrum.
A new #ScienceAdvances study uncovers the basis of this system, offering insight into how plant photosynthesis could use longer wavelengths of light. https://scim.ag/43udhqY

Far-red chlorophyll d clusters extend photosystem I absorption toward the red limit
The cyanobacterium A. marina shows how photosynthetically active radiation can be expanded into the far-red spectral region.
