Deskripsi
Blue light penetrates deeper than red light in ocean, thus blue light sensing is critical for adaptation to marine environments. Here, the authors report the genome of Pyconococcus provasolii and identify a chimeric dual orange/far-red and blue light receptor composed of a phytochrome and a cryptochrome by analyzing the marine metagenomes.
