Effect of Low-Intensity Light on Growth Response and Bacteriochlorophyll Concentration in Rhodospirillum rubrum Mutant C1

R L Uffen a
PMCID: PMC285506  PMID: 4200847

Abstract

Photosynthesizing cells of Rhodospirillum rubrum mutant C underwent adaptation for growth in low-light conditions. During adaptation there was a transitory increase in the generation time and the bacteriochlorophyll a content of the cells.
