Chlorophyll d in an Epiphytic Cyanobacterium of Red Algae

Abstract

Chlorophyll (Chl) a is found in all oxygenic photosynthetic organisms. Manning and Strain in 1943 ([ 1 ][1]) and others ([ 2 ][2]–[ 4 ][3]) reported Chl d (3-desvinyl-3-formyl Chl a) as the second Chl pigment in several species of marine macrophytic red algae, and it is now considered a genuine
