Biogeography of photosynthetic light-harvesting genes in marine phytoplankton.

Biogeography of photosynthetic light-harvesting genes in marine phytoplankton.

BACKGROUND: Photosynthetic light-harvesting proteins are the mechanism by which energy enters the marine ecosystem. The dominant prokaryotic photoautotrophs are the cyanobacterial genera Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus that are defined by two distinct light-harvesting systems, chlorophyll-bound pr...
