Hey mate!!!
➡️Phycobilins are complex photoreceptor pigments – open-chain tetrapyrroles that are structurally related to mammalian bile pigments. ... There are two classes of phycobilins and they occur only in Cyanobacteria and Rhodophyta. The phycobilin component is similar to the porphyrins without a metallic atom.

➡️ Phycobilins
=> Phycobilins are mainly found in blue green algae cyanobacteria and red algae these pigments have open tetrapyrrolic in structure and do not wear magnesium and phytol chain.
Blue green algae have more quantity of phycocyanin and red algae have more phycoerythrin. phycocyanin and phycoerythrin together form phycobilins. these water soluble pigments are thought to be associated with small granules attached with lammellae.
