چکیده
Photosynthesis produced by far-red light (about 700 mmicro) is reversibly inhibited in some algae by extreme-red light ( approximately 750 mmicro).

Inhibition of Photosynthesis in Certain Algae by Extreme Red Light.
This paper shows that in Porphyridium cruentum and in Chlorella pyrenoidosa (but apparently not in Anacystis nidulans) "extreme red" light (> 720 mmu) can inhibit photosynthesis produced by "far red" light (up to 720 mmu). From the action spectrum of this phenomenon, it appears that an unknown pigment with an absorption band around 745 mmu must be responsible for it.
متن کامل12 The Evolution of Photosynthesis and its . . . . . Environmental Impact
Photosynthesis in plants is a very complicated process, utilizing two photosystems in series to carry out the very energy-demanding process of oxidizing water to molecular oxygen and reducing carbon dioxide to organic compounds. The first photosynthetic organisms, living more than 3.4, perhaps even 3.8 Ga, i.e. American billion (10) years ago, carried out a simpler process, without oxygen produ...
متن کاملQuantum Requirement for Photosynthesis in Chlorophyll-Deficient Plants with Unusual Lamellar Structures
Neither an over-all deficiency of chlorophyll, nor an increased enzymatic capacity for maximal rates, nor an unusual lamellar structure was found to change the number of quanta required for the evolution of one molecule of oxygen in healthy aurea mutants of tobacco. The average minimal quantum number remains 10 (efficiency 0.1) as in many algae and typical higher plants. Most of the time the op...
متن کاملThe terminal phycobilisome emitter, LCM: A light-harvesting pigment with a phytochrome chromophore.
Photosynthesis relies on energy transfer from light-harvesting complexes to reaction centers. Phycobilisomes, the light-harvesting antennas in cyanobacteria and red algae, attach to the membrane via the multidomain core-membrane linker, L(CM). The chromophore domain of L(CM) forms a bottleneck for funneling the harvested energy either productively to reaction centers or, in case of light overlo...
متن کاملPhotosynthetic Action Spectra of Marine Algae
A polarographic oxygen determination, with tissue in direct contact with a stationary platinum electrode, has been used to measure the photosynthetic response of marine algae. These were exposed to monochromatic light, of equal energy, at some 35 points through the visible spectrum (derived from a monochromator). Ulva and Monostroma (green algae) show action spectra which correspond very closel...
