Broader concept

Narrower concepts

Scope note

  • Light energy harvesting structures attached to the THYLAKOID MEMBRANES of CYANOBACTERIA and RED ALGAE. These multiprotein complexes contain pigments (PHYCOBILIPROTEINS) that transfer light energy to chlorophyll a.

History note

  • 2004; use PHYCOBILISOMES (NM) 1980-2003; use PROTEINS 1978-1979
