Abstract excerpt
A 2-3-fold reduction of chlorophyll content in pigment mutants of Chlamydomonas reinhardii is conditioned by the disturbances in light-harvesting pigments. When the activity of both photosystems is preserved, the reduction of short-wave forms of chlorophyll a (667, 678 nm) is accompanied by a fall of the fluorescence maximum at 685-690 nm; the disturbance of the long-wave forms with the adsorption maxima at 689,...
