Biomolecules, Vol. 9, Pages 748: What Happened to the Phycobilisome? Biomolecules doi: 10.3390/biom9110748 Authors: Beverley R. Green The phycobilisome (PBS) is the major light-harvesting complex of photosynthesis in cyanobacteria, red algae, and glaucophyte algae. In spite of the fact that it is very well structured to absorb light and transfer it efficiently to photosynthetic reaction centers, it has been completely lost in the green algae and plants. It is difficult to see how selection...
