The Light Ratio of Blue to Green Light Perceived by SesA/B/C CBCRs Can be an Indicator of Self-Shading

(A) The cell absorption spectrum of Thermosynechococcusvulcanus (upper) and the difference spectra of the reversible photoconversion of SesA/B/C holoproteins (lower). The lower panel was created using the data reported in Ref. 7. The region of 420 nm–440 nm was highlighted in a blue shade and that of 520 nm–540 nm was highlighted in a green shade.

(B) The transmittance ratio of blue light (439 nm) to green light (540 nm) and the image of the liquid culture of T. vulcanus.
