Publisher Summary This chapter reviews visible absorption and fluorescence of chlorophyll,
and its aggregates in solution. The high concentration of chlorophyll in the photosynthetic …

From fluorescence action spectra, fluorescence spectra and absorption spectra measured at
room temperature and at 77 K of light petroleum (bp 40–60)-treated and normal chloroplasts…

Fluorescence spectra were determined at temperatures between 20 and −196 for a number
of photosynthetic organisms. Below −90 the single fluorescence maximum around 685 mμ …

Measurement of the action spectrum of fluorescence of Rhodopseudomonas spheroides and
Rhodospirillum rubrum showed no difference between intact bacteria and chromatophores …

The influence of temperature, CO2 availability, light intensity, and colour on growth of
Anacystis at high (70-120 Wm 2) light intensities was investigated. In the first 2 k days rapid …

Dichroism, absorption anisotropy, and anomal dispersion of birefringence were measured
in the big lamellate chloroplasts of Mougeotia. The results of these measurements indicate a …

The behaviour of bacteriochlorophyll in its natural state with regard to oxidative bleaching,
photobleaching and temperature bleaching was investigated. Reversible changes in …

Two pigment systems are involved in the afterglow of chlorophyll a-containing cells.
Absorption in only one of these systems (promoting or “p” system) is effective in producing …

In order to obtain new information about the way of functioning of chlorophyll in vivo a study
was made of optical properties and photosynthesis under condition of a low chlorophyll …

Fluorescence action spectra were determined, both at room temperature and at liquid nitrogen
temperature, with various blue-green, red and green algae, and greening bean leaves. …
