Structure of diatom photosystem supercomplex reveals its energy transfer, photoprotective pathways

Diatoms are an important group of red lineage species in the oceans that produce about 20% of the Earth’s primary productivity. Unlike green algae and higher plants, diatom photosystems bind fucoxanthin-chlorophyll a/c binding proteins (FCPs) as peripheral antennas to harvest more blue-green light underwater.
