Popis: | The spectral analysis of membrane fractions and a fraction enriched in light-harvesting (LH) complex I + reaction center (RC) of Roseococcus thiosulfatophilus, RB3 and of the membrane fraction and of the isolated LH II and LH I + RC complexes of Erythromicrobium ramosum, E5 is reported. Quantum yields of singlet energy transfer between carotenoids and bacteriochlorophyll (light-harvesting function) were calculated from comparison of absorption and fluorescence excitation spectra of the respective preparations. The results indicate that the excess of carotenoids in the membrane does not contribute to the lightharvesting function of the LH complexes. |
