# phyto: photosynthesis also occurs through far-red light

AA << studied photosystem complexes from cyanobacteria grown in the presence of far-red light. >>

<< Kinetic measurements demonstrated that far-red light is capable of directly driving water oxidation, despite having less energy than the red light used by most photosynthetic organisms. >>
