A New Chlorophyll from Green Bacteria (open access)

A New Chlorophyll from Green Bacteria

The green photosynthetic bacteria are characterized by the presence of either chlorobium chlorophyll (bacterioviridin)-65o or chlorobium chlorophyll-66o (numerical designation based on the position of the red-absorption peak in ether) z. Most strains of Chlorobium contain chlorophyll-66o which has its major red peak between 74 ° and 75 ° m/~ in FiFo. KATZ AND WASSINK z first reported an additional minor absorption peak at 81o mF for Chlorobium limicola in vivo and a corresponding minor peak at 780 m F in ethanol extracts. LARSEN (Figs. 6-11 in ref. 3) also observed this 8Io-mF absorption band in another Chlorobium strain and a corresponding peak at 77 ° m/~ in acetone extracts. In strain L of C. thiosulfatophilum the minor red peak appears at 800 mF, clearly resolved from the main peak of chlorophyll-65o at about 725 m/~ (see refs. I, 4). We have observed the minor red peak once again in Chloropseudomonas ethylicum, strain 2K (refs. 5, 6), as a shoulder at about 81o mF on the side of the 75o-mF peak of chlorophyll-66o (ref. 7). The evidence presented in this paper indicates that the absorption peak appearing between 800 and 81o m/, in vivo does not belong to chlorophyll-65 o (or …
