Abstract
A new plant pigment with a long wavelength absorption maximum at 750 m/j, common to 2 blue-green algae, Synechococcus cedrorum, (Sauvg.) and Anacystis nidulans, has been isolated and partially purified. Attempts to deter-mine its in vivo function have been unsuccessful. Spectral similarities between the isolated pigment and bacterial pheophytin suggest a possible relationship of the blue-green algae to the photosynthetic bacteria.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
