Cyanobacterial UV Pigments Evolved to Optimize Photon Dissipation Rather than Photoprotection

An ancient repertoire of ultraviolet (UV)-absorbing pigments which survive today in the phylogenetically oldest extant photosynthetic organisms, the cyanobacteria, point to a direction in evolutionary adaptation of the pigments and their associated biota; from largely UV-C absorbing pigments in the...
