Open AccessSeagrassDB: An open-source transcriptomics landscape for phylogenetically profiled seagrasses and aquatic plants
Seagrasses and aquatic plants are important clades of higher plants, significant for carbon sequestration and marine ecological restoration. They are valuable in the sense that they allow us to understand how ...

Newly Isolated Chl d-Containing Cyanobacteria
Stromatolites are sedimentary structures formed by microbial mats that are typically found in limestone-or dolostone-rich environments. Shark Bay, Australia, has abundant examples of living marine stromatolite...

The Function of MgDVP in a Chlorophyll d-Containing Organism
The cyanobacterium Acaryochloris marina is an exceptional organism utilising chlorophyll d (Chl d) as its major photosynthetic pigment. Acaryochloris cells contain 90–99% Chl d with minor amounts of chlorophyll a

Excitation energy transfer from phycobiliprotein to chlorophyll d in intact cells of Acaryochloris marina studied by time- and wavelength-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy
The fluorescence decay spectra and the excitation energy transfer from the phycobiliproteins (PBP) to the chlorophyll-antennae of intact cells of the chlorophyll (Chl) d-dominated cyanobacterium Acaryochloris mar...

Fluorescent pigments in corals are photoprotective
All reef-forming corals depend on the photosynthesis performed by their algal symbiont, and such corals are therefore restricted to the photic zone. The intensity of light in this zone declines over several or...
