The colorful world of cryptophyte phycobiliproteins
Abstract Cryptophytes are flagellated, eukaryotic phytoplankton found in environments ranging from tea-colored ponds to the blue-water open ocean. Cryptophytes vary in color from green to red, a trait that is imparted primarily by their phycobiliprotein (PBP) accessory pigments. These PBPs have like...
