ResumoAbstract A new reversibly photochromic pigment, phycochrome d, has been found in extracts of the blue‐green alga Tolypothrix distorta . This phycochrome exhibits an absorbance increase in the red region (maximum at about 650 nm) when irradiated with 650 nm light, and a corresponding absorbance decrease when irradiated with 610 nm light. The absorbance difference spectrum and action spectra for in vitro conversions were determined.
