Abstract
The major light harvesting pigments of blue-green algae are the phycobiliproteins which are in aggregated form in the phycobilisomes attached to the outer surface of the thylakoid membranes (1). Most of the light energy absorbed by phycobilisomes is transferred to chlorophyll-a and is subsequently distributed to both photosystem I and II (2). The efficiency of energy transfer from phycobilisomes to chlorophyll-a was reported to vary by pretreatment by light or darkness, depending on the alga (3).
