Internal Conversion in the Photosynthetic Mechanism of Blue-green Algae
1. In Chroococcus a quantum of light absorbed by phycocyanin has 90 per cent the chance of doing photosynthesis that a quantum absorbed by chlorophyll has. 2. By a process analogous to internal conversion in radioactivity (but with the linear dimensions and the wave length 10(4) times larger) there will be transferred from phycocyanin to chlorophyll See PDF for Equation (a number of the order o...
متن کاملRelations between Pigment Content and Photosynthetic Characteristics in a Blue-green Alga
1. The blue-green alga Anacystis nidulans was cultured under steady state conditions at 25 and 39 degrees C. and under several different light intensities to give five different types of cells. 2. Cells were submitted to pigment analysis based upon acetone extracts and aqueous extracts obtained by sonic disintegration. The different cell types show a threefold range of chlorophyll content and a...
متن کاملDecomposition of blue-green algal (cyanobacterial) blooms in lake mendota, wisconsin.
Decomposition of natural populations of Lake Mendota phytoplankton dominated by blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) was monitored by using oxygen uptake and disappearance of chlorophyll, algal volume (fluorescence microscopy), particulate protein, particulate organic carbon, and photosynthetic ability (CO(2) up-take). In some experiments, decomposition of C-labeled axenic cultures of Anabaena sp. ...
متن کاملPteridines in blue green algae.
The presence of a remarkably high concentration of pteridiineS in the blue green alga, Anacystis nidulanis 5, wvas demonstrated by Forrest, van Baalen, and Myers in 1957 (2). A number of (lifferent pteridines were then isolated and ideentifie(l. These included 2-amino-4-hydroxypteridine, 2,6-diamino-4-hydroxypteridline (10), a yellow pteridine assigned the structure 2-aimino-4-hydroxv-6-propion...
متن کاملRespiration in blue-green algae.
The low rate of endogenous respiration exhibited by the blue-green algae Anacystis nidulans and Phormidium luridum was not increased by the addition of respiratory substrates. However, endogenous respiration was inhibited by low concentrations of cyanide and by high carbon monoxide tensions. In addition, the uncouplers dinitrophenol and carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone both st...
