Energy and Electron Transfer Systems of Chlamydomonas reinhardi. I. Photosynthetic and Respiratory Cytochrome Systems of the Pale Green Mutant 1

摘要

The role of cytochromes in photosynthetic electron transfer system has been studied using the pale green mutant of Chlamydomonas reinhardi (ATCC 18302). The existence of cytochromes b563 and f is confirmed, while no significant amount of ascorbate-reducible cytochrome b559 is detected in this mutant. The presence of cytochrome c and a small amount of a-type cytochrome is determined in these cells.
