Abstract
Singlet fission of carotenoid excitation is studied in purple phototrophic bacterium Thermochromatium tepidum. Using time-resolved EPR and magnetic field-induced modulation of fluorescence yield it is shown that the concept of intramolecular excitation fission developed in a number of publications is not supported by the experimental results. The obtained data favor intermolecular fission mechanism involving two carotenoid molecules.Entities:
