A research group led by Associate Professor Yu Hirose of Toyohashi University of Technology analyzed the switching mechanism in response to light color in the photosynthetic antenna (phycobilisome) of the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. They proposed that because this cyanobacterium lacks the ability to absorb green light, the ON/OFF switching of rod-shaped phycobilisome synthesis may be slower.
