How an alga makes the most of dim light

Researchers discovered that a freshwater alga captures low-energy far-red light by precisely arranging ordinary chlorophyll molecules, rather than inventing new pigments. The finding reveals a new structural strategy for photosynthesis in low-light environments and could inform future bioenergy and protein design.

Levänluhta (Finnish: [ˈleʋænˌluhtɑ]; lit. "#alga's #floodmeadow") or Leväluhta is a spring and prominent archaeological site in the village of #Orismala in #Isokyrö, #Finland. It was used as an #IronAge water graveyard from the 5th to the 8th centuries, containing remains of around 100 individuals. It's one of the oldest known burial sites in Finland with preserved human bones, as the #waterlogged environment had contributed to an exceptionally good preservation of the remains.
