Chlorophyll d is a form of chlorophyll, identified in 1996. It is present in marine red algae and cyanobacteria which use energy captured from sunlight for photosynthesis.[1] Chlorophyll d absorbs far-red light, at 710 nm wavelength, just outside the optical range.[2] An organism that contains chlorophyll d is adapted to an environment such as moderately deep water, where it can use far red light for photosynthesis,[3] although there is not a lot of visible light.[4]
