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 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...
متن کاملUltrastructure of blue-green algae.
Two freshwater blue-green algae, Tolypothrix tenuis and Fremyella diplosiphon, and an oscillatorialike marine alga, were found to possess structures on the photosynthetic lamellae which appear to correspond to the phycobilisomes of red algae. These homologous structures are important because they contain the phycobilins which are accessory pigments involved in photosynthesis. As in the red alga...
متن کاملLoss of photosynthetic activity in two blue-green algae as a result of osmotic stress.
A progressive loss of photosynthetic activity occurred when cells of Anacystis nidulans and Coccochloris peniocystis were incubated in increasing concentrations of osmotica from 0.2 to 0.7 M, and there was a release of pteridine from the cells proportional to the loss of photosynthetic activity.
