LIGHT-DRIVEN CYTOCHROME REACTIONS IN ANACYSTIS AND EUGLENA

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4105083
The basic cytochrome physiology, of Anacystis nidulans and Euglena gracilis is compared. Emphasis is placed on basic similarity in view of gross dissimilarities in size, structure, and pigment content. Results are reported from a spectrophotometric investigation of cytochrome reactions and patterns of energy transfer from light receptors to the reaction centers involved in photochemical reactions during photosynthesis in these organisms. The pathways of photosynthetic electron transfer were also studied under varied wavelengths and intensity of monochromatic actinic light. Some preliminary observations are included on the effect of carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone. The reduction of cytochrone in Euglena chloroplast fragments is described. (C.H.)
