Red algae acclimate to low light by modifying phycobilisome composition to maintain efficient light harvesting

Red algae acclimate to low light by modifying phycobilisome composition to maintain efficient light harvesting

Abstract Background Despite a global prevalence of photosynthetic organisms in the ocean’s mesophotic zone (30–200+ m depth), the mechanisms that enable photosynthesis to proceed in this low light environment are poorly defined. Red coralline algae are the deepest known marine benthic macroalgae — h...
