This lecture covers the process of photosynthesis in microorganisms, focusing on the pigments involved and the energy transfer mechanisms. It discusses the different types of photosynthesis, such as oxygenic and anoxygenic, and explains the role of pigments like chlorophyll, carotenoids, and phycobiliproteins. The lecture also explores the energy transfer to reaction centers and the importance of light wavelength in photosynthetic processes.
