Abstract excerpt
Many cyanobacteria are able to alter the pigment composition of the phycobilisome in a process called complementary chromatic adaptation (CCA). The regulatory mechanisms of CCA have been identified in Fremyella diplosiphon, which regulates both phycoerythrin and phycocyanin levels, and Nostoc punctiforme, which regulates only phycoerythrin production. Recent studies show that these species use different...
