ABSTRACT
Introduction Photosynthetic organisms are able to capture solar energy using light-harvesting antennae in the photosynthesis process [1], [2]. In the eukaryotic red algae and most of the prokaryotic cyanobacteria, the light-harvesting antennae are extrinsic supramolecular complexes, designated phycobilisomes (PBsomes). PBsomes are arranged on the surface of photosynthetic membranes [3]–[5], absorbing light and transferring it to the reaction center with high e ciency [6]–[8].
