The primary photosynthetic pigment in cyanobacteria is chlorophyll a, which is similar to the chlorophyll found in higher plants. In addition to chlorophyll a, cyanobacteria also contain accessory pigments such as phycobilins (including phycocyanin and phycoerythrin) that aid in capturing light energy, particularly in low-light conditions. These pigments contribute to the characteristic blue-green color of cyanobacteria and enhance their ability to perform photosynthesis across various light wavelengths.
