Project Summary
Attempt to increase rate/efficiency of photosynthesis by expressing non-native photosynthetic pigments in cyanobacteria. Our theory is if we can expand the wavelengths that cyanobacteria can absorb, then it can photosynthesize faster/more efficiently.
Original Presentation: Increase Absorption Range for Photosynthesis
