We report production of chlorophyll f and chlorophyll d in the cyanobacterium Chlorogloeopsis fritschii cultured under near‐infrared and natural light conditions. C. fritschii produced chlorophyll f and chlorophyll d when cultured under natural light to a high culture density in a 20 L bubble column photobioreactor. In the laboratory, the ratio of chlorophyll f to chlorophyll a changed from 1:15 under near‐infrared, to an undetectable level of chlorophyll f under artificial white light. The results provide support that chlorophylls f and d are both red‐light inducible chlorophylls in C. fritschii .
