Relative abundances of pigments under different light color culture conditions

Four typical cyanobacterial photosynthetic pigments were identified according to their fluorescence excitation (Table 1).

Table 1 Fluorescence excitation and emission wavelength of typical photosynthetic pigments
Photosynthetic pigments excitation wavelength emission wavelength
Chlorophyll a (Chla) 427 nm 680 nm
phycoerythrin (PE) 488 nm 588 nm
phycocyanin (PC) 600 nm 660 nm
Allophycocyanin (APC) 633 nm 660 nm
Carotenoids 513 nm 556 nm

The relative abundances of each pigment were further estimated by the absorption spectrum of the culture solution under different light color conditions. In more detail, Chl a, PC, PE and carotenoids were identified and APC was not detected in the culture solutions according to Table 1, hence we regarded the amount of APC is ignorable. Subsequently, we identified the absorption spectrums of each pure pigment (Fig. 3), and linear models were constructed between the absorption spectrum of culture soloutions (\(Y_i\), \(i = (W, R, G, B)\)) and Chl a (\(p_1\)), PC (\(p_2\)), PE (\(p_3\)) and carotenoids (\(p_4\)) for different light color culture conditions Eq. 1, and the relative abundances of each pigments of culture solutions under white (\(\lambda_W\)), Red (\(\lambda_R\)), Green (\(\lambda_G\)), Blue (\(\lambda_B\)) light conditions were determined according to the least squares algorithm.

\[ Y_i=\lambda_{1i}p_1+\lambda_{2i}p_2+\lambda_{3i}p_3+\lambda_{4i}p_4 \tag{1}\]
