Dynamic LHCI antenna and inter-photosystem spillover enable flexible light harvesting in Euglena gracilis. [PDF]

Plant J
Significance Statement Euglena gracilis is an early diverging photosynthetic organism with a unique mosaic photosynthetic apparatus. Biochemical and spectroscopic analysis reveals a kinetically slower photosystem I sharing excitation energy with photosystem II in the absence of strict photosystem segregation.
