Diner, Bruce A.
RESUMO
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.
