Abstract
A monoculture of phycoerythrin-rich picocyanobacteria has been isolate d from surface waters of the Black Sea. Electron-microscope studies re vealed the presence of an unusual surface layer made up of regularly a rranged subunits and spinoid structures. Because of the unusual spectr al characteristics of absorption by the phycoerythrin, this strain can not be classed with any certainty among the known spectral types of ph ycoerythrins of picocyanobacteria.
