Acaryochloris marina , a unicellular oxygenic photosynthetic cyanobacterium, has uniquely adapted to far-red light-enriched environments using red-shifted chlorophyll d . To understand red-light use in Acaryochloris , the genome of this cyanobacterium was searched for red/far-red light photoreceptor...
