Chlorophyll f and chlorophyll d are produced in the cyanobacterium Chlorogloeopsis fritschii when cultured under natural light and near-infrared radiation - Steve Skill (FEBS Letters, 2014)
This paper is the first to report chlorophylls d and f, pigments that absorb in the near-infrared region of the spectrum, isolated in a known species of cyanobacteria cultivated in a photobioreactor. This potentially has implications in terms of improving productivity in algal cultivation systems required for industrial biotechnology.
