Cyanobacteria and red algae control the energy distributions of two photosystems (PSI and PSII) by changing the energy transfer among phycobilisome (PBS), PSI, and PSII. However, whether PSII → PSI energy transfer (spillover) occurs in the intact megacomplexes composed of PBS, PSI, and PSII (PBS–PSI...
