Abstract

Substantial amounts of iron have been shown by Mössbauer spectroscopy to be present in Photosystem-I preparations from the blue-green alga Chlorogloeta fritschii. Changes in the spectra on chemical reduction provide evidence that some of this iron is very similar to that found in the 4Fe-4S centres of ferredoxins. Such reduced samples also show e.p.r. signals consistent with maximum reduction of iron-sulphur centres A and B of Photosystem I. An unchanged component in the spectra indicates, assuming all centres A and B are reduced, the presence of another iron-containing species.
