The paper shows that different strains of Acaryochloris marina achieve red-shifted chlorophyll d-based photosynthesis through varied low-energy chlorophyll states in Photosystem I, not a single conserved motif.

This study examines genome reduction in diatom endosymbionts, finding key gene losses and positive selection in nitrogen fixation genes, suggesting early stages of integration with hosts.

The paper shows that divergence in the light-harvesting system of Acaryochloris marina, driven by chlorophyll d, leads to ecological niche partitioning through spectral type specialization.
