Evolution of a divinyl chlorophyll-based photosystem in Prochlorococcus.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 1 Nov 2011

Ito Hisashi, Tanaka Ayumi

Abstract excerpt

Acquisition of new photosynthetic pigments has been a crucial process for the evolution of photosynthesis and photosynthetic organisms. In this process, pigment-binding proteins must evolve to fit new pigments. Prochlorococcus is a unique photosynthetic organism that uses divinyl chlorophyll (DVChl) instead of monovinyl chlorophyll. However, cyanobacterial mutants that accumulate DVChl immediately die even under...
