Difference between Cyanobacteria and Phycocyanin

Cyanobacteria vs. Phycocyanin

Cyanobacteria, also known as Cyanophyta, are a phylum of bacteria that obtain their energy through photosynthesis, and are the only photosynthetic prokaryotes able to produce oxygen. Phycocyanin is a pigment-protein complex from the light-harvesting phycobiliprotein family, along with allophycocyanin and phycoerythrin.

Similarities between Cyanobacteria and Phycocyanin

Cyanobacteria and Phycocyanin have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): Algae, Aphanizomenon flos-aquae, Carotenoid, Phycobiliprotein, Phycobilisome, Phycoerythrin, Red algae, Spirulina (dietary supplement).

Algae

Algae (singular alga) is an informal term for a large, diverse group of photosynthetic organisms that are not necessarily closely related, and is thus polyphyletic.

Aphanizomenon flos-aquae

Aphanizomenon flos-aquae is a brackish and freshwater species of cyanobacteria found around the world, including the Baltic Sea and the Great Lakes.

Carotenoid

Carotenoids, also called tetraterpenoids, are organic pigments that are produced by plants and algae, as well as several bacteria and fungi.

Phycobiliprotein

Phycobiliproteins are water-soluble proteins present in cyanobacteria and certain algae (rhodophytes, cryptomonads, glaucocystophytes) which capture light energy, which is then passed on to chlorophylls during photosynthesis.

Phycobilisome

Phycobilisomes are light harvesting antennae of photosystem II in cyanobacteria, red algae and glaucophytes.

Phycoerythrin

Phycoerythrin (PE) is a red protein-pigment complex from the light-harvesting phycobiliprotein family, present in red algae and cryptophytes, accessory to the main chlorophyll pigments responsible for photosynthesis.

Red algae

The red algae, or Rhodophyta, are one of the oldest groups of eukaryotic algae.

Spirulina (dietary supplement)

Spirulina represents a biomass of cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) that can be consumed by humans and other animals.

Cyanobacteria and Phycocyanin Comparison

Cyanobacteria has 225 relations, while Phycocyanin has 42. As they have in common 8, the Jaccard index is 3.00% = 8 / (225 + 42).
