[Spectral forms of the chlorophyll of mutants of Chlamydomonas with inactive photosystems]. 1979

V G Ladygin

Investigations of non-photosinthesizing mutants of Chlamydomonas reinhardii with damaged activity of both or one of the photosystems have shown that the chlorophyll a form with the absorption maximum at 685 nm and low temperature fluorescence band at 696 nm is a part of the pigment-protein complex of PS-2. Chlorophyll a forms with absorption maxima at 689, 698 and 703 nm belong to the pigment-protein complex of PS-1. They seem to be responsible for the long-wave band of chlorophyll fluorescence with the maximum at 707--718 nm. Chlorophyll a forms with absorption at 661, 667 and 678 nm and a short-wave fluorescence band at 685--690 nm rank among the pigments of the light-converging complex, as well as chlorophyll b with the absorption maximum at 644 and 649 nm.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009154 Mutation Any detectable and heritable change in the genetic material that causes a change in the GENOTYPE and which is transmitted to daughter cells and to succeeding generations. Mutations
D010788 Photosynthesis The synthesis by organisms of organic chemical compounds, especially carbohydrates, from carbon dioxide using energy obtained from light rather than from the oxidation of chemical compounds. Photosynthesis comprises two separate processes: the light reactions and the dark reactions. In higher plants; GREEN ALGAE; and CYANOBACTERIA; NADPH and ATP formed by the light reactions drive the dark reactions which result in the fixation of carbon dioxide.
