I have been writing a project in marine microbiology, and have speculated 
and sought information about the photosynthesis of algae (especially 
cyanobakteria and diatoms), but I didnt find much. Here in the achieves of 
this great site, I found a comment saying that algae are having a 
photosynthesis lying in between C3 and C4. I dont understand that.
I would be happy if you could answer my question!
