Effective Absorption Cross-Sections in Porphyridium cruentum: Implications for Energy Transfer between Phycobilisomes and Photosystem II Reaction Centers.
نویسنده
چکیده
Effective absorption cross-sections for O(2) production by Porphyridium cruentum were measured at 546 and 596 nanometers. Although all photosystem II reaction centers are energetically coupled to phycobilisomes, any single phycobilisome acts as antenna for several photosystem II reaction centers. The cross-section measured in state I was 50% larger than that measured in state II.

Efficiency of energy transfer from photosystem II to photosystem I in Porphyridium cruentum.
The yield of energy transfer from photosystem II to photosystem I in Porphyridium cruentum varies from a minimum value of about 0.50 when the photosystem II reaction centers are all open to a maximum value between 0.90 and 0.95 when the centers are all closed.

Cells of Porphyridium cruentum were grown in different colors of light which would be absorbed primarily by chlorophyll (Chl) (red and blue light) or by the phycobilisomes (green or two intensities of cool-white fluorescent light), and samples of these cells were frozen to -196 C for measurements of absorption and fluorescence emission spectra. Cells grown in the high intensity white light had ...

Cells of the red alga Porphyridium cruentum (ATCC 50161) exposed to increasing growth irradiance exhibited up to a three-fold reduction in photosystems I and II (PSI and PSII) and phycobilisomes but little change in the relative numbers of these components. Batch cultures of P. cruentum were grown under four photon flux densities of continuous white light; 6 (low light, LL), 35 (medium light, M...
متن کاملGrowth under Red Light Enhances Photosystem II Relative to Photosystem I and Phycobilisomes in the Red Alga Porphyridium cruentum.
Acclimation of the photosynthetic apparatus to light absorbed primarily by photosystem I (PSI) or by photosystem II (PSII) was studied in the unicellular red alga Porphyridium cruentum (ATCC 50161). Cultures grown under green light of 15 microeinsteins per square meter per second (PSII light; absorbed predominantly by the phycobilisomes) exhibited a PSII/PSI ratio of 0.26 +/- 0.05. Under red li...

Nonsaturating light at 600 or 436 nanometers was used to excite specifically phycocyanin or chlorophyll a, respectively, both of which participate in light capture in photosystem II of Cyanidium caldarium. The ratio of absorption of light by phycocyanin to chlorophyll in photosystem II in this organism is >20 at 600 nanometers and </=0.2 at 436 nanometers.The distribution of the absorbed light ...
