Title: The identity of the fluorescent and delayed light emission spectra in Chlorella

Abstract

1. The delayed light emission of Chlorella pyrenoidosa over the wave length range 400 to 950 mµ has been investigated. 2. Emission of delayed light is confined to the range 600 to 800 mµ. 3. To the precision with which the low light intensities involved can be measured with the apparatus in these experiments, the emission spectrum of the delayed light is the same as the spectrum of the fluorescent light. 4. Thus the delayed light must come from excited chlorophyll.

Fluorescence lifetimes of chloroplasts, subchloroplast particles and chlorella using single photon counting

Conference Sauer, K ; Brewington, G T

Lifetimes of chlorophyll fluorescence from spinach chloroplasts, digitonin subchloroplast particles and Chlorella pyrenoidosa were measured using a single photon counting apparatus capable of detecting lifetimes longer than about 0.1 ns. In the absence of actinic illumination or inhibitors, all of the materials investigated exhibited single exponential decays in the range 0.2 to 0.4 ns. Actinic illumination or inhibitors that block Photosystem 2 produce a biphasic fluorescence decay. The fast decay component becomes several times slower, and it is accompanied by a second, slow decay of about 2 ns. The results are interpreted to support the occurrence of transfer of excitationmore » between Photosystem 2 units.« less
Delayed light emission and fluorescence responses of plants to chilling

Journal Article Abbott, J A ; Campbell, T A ; Massie, D R - Remote Sensing of Environment; (United States)

Delayed light emission (DLE) of chlorophyll has the same excitation and emission spectra as chlorophyll fluorescence and was formerly called delayed fluorescence. DLE has a much longer time response than true chlorophyll fluorescence and is detectable for times ranging from milliseconds to many minutes. DLE is induced by back reactions of the photosynthetic pathway and therefore requires functional chloroplasts. It is detectable only in the dark following light excitation, yields very low energy, and decays very rapidly. DLE repetitively excited over time, which they term refreshed DLE (RDLE), shows a shoulder and broad peak in the measurements, indicating participation ofmore »« less

Intensity dependence of the fluorescence lifetime of in vivo chlorophyll excited by a picosecond light pulse. [Chlorella pyrenoidosa]

Journal Article Campillo, A J ; Kollman, V H ; Shapiro, S L - Science; (United States)

New data on intensity-dependent lifetimes indicate that all previous in vivo fluorescence studies of chlorophyll by picosecond techniques must be reinterpreted. Anomalously short lifetimes result from high-intensity effects due to exciton-exciton annihilation processes. Measurements in Chlorella pyrenoidosa with single-pulse, low-intensity excitation indicate a longer ''true'' lifetime of 650 +- 150 picoseconds.
Delayed Light Emission in Green Plant Meterials:Temperature-Dependence and Quantum Yield

Technical Report Tollin, G ; Fujimori, E ; Calvin, M

The discovery of the delayed light emission of plant materials by Strahler and Arnold in 1951 has stimulated a good deal of interest in this rather remarkable property. The emitted light has been shown to be due to an electronic transition between the first excited singlet state of chlorophyll and the ground state. At room temperature, a luminescence is observable from about 0.01 seconds to several minutes after excitation. Thus, the electronic transition cannot be rate-determining and the process represents neither normal fluorescence nor normal phosphorescence. Indeed, there is some evidence that the decay curve of the luminescence is themore »« less

Action and Emission Spectra of the Luminescence of Green PlantMaterials

Technical Report Tollin, G. ; Fujimori, E. ; Calvin, Melvin

The action and emission spectra of the delayed light emission from Chlorella, Nostoc, and spinach chloroplasts have been measured. The action spectra for Chlorella and for spinach chloroplasts are quite similar to the absorption spectra of these materials. The action spectrum for Nostoc, on the other hand, shows a relatively low activity for chlorophyll and carotenoids and a high activity for phycocyanin. The emission spectra of these materials demonstrates that the luminescence is the result of a transition between the first excited singlet state and the ground state of chlorophyll. Low-temperature studies suggest that the triplet state of chlorophyll ismore »« less
