The amount of carotenoid is expressed as mmol pigment/mol chlorophyll a + b. Each value is the mean result from six experiments ± SD, with the relative molar percentage of each carotenoid given in parentheses. Values marked with the same letters are not significantly different from each other within a column (Student's t test, P > 0.05).
