| Research Abstract |
We identified that the Chl d-producer in Lake Biwa was freshwater cyanobacteria in the genus Acaryochloris. Their distribution was detected in two independent depths at 0 - 20 m and 40 - 50 m during the stratified periods. The possession of Chl d might have advantage to absorb blue-green light which remained at the deeper water. We also isolated Chl f-producing cyanobacterium during this study.
