Rapid colour changes in Euglena sanguinea (Euglenophyceae) caused by internal lipid globule migration [PDF]
, 2018 The accumulation of red pigments under chronic stress is a response observed in most groups of oxygenic photoautotrophs. It is thought that the red pigments in the cell shield the chlorophyll located underneath from the light. Among these red pigments,
