Excited to share that our preprint on the #evolution of far-red light #photoacclimation (FaRLiP) in #cyanobacteria has been published in Current Biology. cell.com/current-biology/ful…

Evolution of far-red light photoacclimation in cyanobacteria

Some cyanobacteria can thrive using only near-infrared/far-red light for oxygenic photosynthesis. Antonaru et al. show that this ability is an ancient adaptation inherited from a common ancestor in...
