Abstract
Excitation energy distribution in Porphyridium cruentum in state 1 and state 2 was investigated by time resolved 77 K fluorescence emission spectroscopy. The fluorescence rise times of phycoerythrin, phycocyanin and allophycocyanin (in cells in state 1 and state 2) were very similar in contrast to the emission from chlorophyll a (Chl a) associated with the two photosystems. In state 2 photosystem II (PSII) Chl a fluorescence emission rose faster than the PSI Chl a emission and decayed more rapidly, and the converse was observed in state 1. These kinetic data support the concept of increased energy transfer from PSII Chl a to PSI Chl a in state 2 in P. cruentum.Entities:
