Abstract
Photosynthetic microorganisms with broadened light absorption capability and increased photosynthetic activity are described. Broadened light absorption is achieved by modifying the microorganism to utilize non-native bilins. Increased photosynthetic activity results from the broadened light absorption and can also result from a decrease in self-shading. The microorganisms include Cyanobacteria, including modified Cyanobacteria.
