Light-induced Efficiency and Pigment Alterations in Red Algae
The low photosynthetic efficiency of chlorophyll in freshly collected red algae, can, in the case of Porphyra perforata, P. nereocystis, and Porphyridium cruentum, be increased by growing the algae for 10 days in red or blue light. Exposure to darkness or to green light maintains the algae in their originally low efficiency with respect to chlorophyll, while retaining the high efficiency of phy...
متن کاملInhibition of Photosynthesis in Some Algae by Extreme-Red Light.
Photosynthesis produced by far-red light (about 700 mmicro) is reversibly inhibited in some algae by extreme-red light ( approximately 750 mmicro).
متن کاملInhibition 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 کاملOptimization of light use efficiency for biofuel production in algae.
A major challenge for next decades is development of competitive renewable energy sources, highly needed to compensate fossil fuels reserves and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Among different possibilities, which are currently under investigation, there is the exploitation of unicellular algae for production of biofuels and biodiesel in particular. Some algae species have the ability of accum...
متن کاملFormation of carbon monoxide and bile pigment in red and blue-green algae.
Five blue-green and one red algal species produced carbon monoxide during photosynthetic growth. The blue-green algae synthesized CO and phycocyanobilin in equimolar quantities at identical rates. The red alga, Porphyridium cruentum, incorporated Delta-aminolevulinic acid-5-(14)C into phycoerythrobilin and CO. The ratio of the specific radioactivity of phycoerythrobilin to that of CO, and the k...
