Multiple routes to red-shifted chlorophyll d-based photosynthesis

Himanshu S. Mehra, Nikki Cecil M. Magdaong, David A. Flesher, Gaozhong Shen, Nikea J. Ulrich, Christian M. Brininger, Dariusz M. Niedzwiedzki, Scott R. Miller, Christopher J. Gisriel

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.
