Applied Biochemistry and Microbiology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The functions of phycobiliproteins and phycobilisomes as photosynthetic antenna pigments in cells of cyanobacteria and a range of algae were considered. Achievements in the area of biological and natural sciences connected with study of phycobiliproteins are described. Sources and different possibilities of the practical application of these pigments in fluorescent spectroscopy, pharmacy, and biotechnology are analyzed.
