Abstract
⺠We describe a photoprotective energy dissipating mechanism in cyanobacteria. ⺠This mechanism decreases the energy arriving at the reaction centers. ⺠The orange carotenoid protein is the inducer of energy dissipation. ⺠Energy dissipation occurs at the level of phycobilisomes. ⺠The Fluorescence Recovery Protein is essential to decrease energy dissipation.
