Prochlorophyta is a group of photosynthetic bacteria, an important component of picoplankton.[1] These oligotrophic organisms are abundant in nutrient poor tropical waters and use a unique photosynthetic pigment, divinyl-chlorophyll, to absorb light and acquire energy.[1][2][3] Prochlorophyta lack red and blue phycobilin pigments and have stacked thylakoids, making them distinctly different from Cyanobacteria (or Cyanophyta),[2] but some authors consider them as part of the Cyanobacteria, as the group Prochlorales.
