Table I. Pigment content of C. meneghiniana cells, thylakoid membranes, and isolated pigment protein complexes.

C. meneghiniana cultures were grown at LL intensities of 10 to 15 μmol m−2 s−1 PAR or at HL intensities of 160 to 180 μmol m−2 s−1 PAR. Pigment concentrations are depicted as mm pigment m−1 Chl a. The table shows the mean values of at least four pigment determinations from independent preparations with the respective sds.

The highly oligomeric FCP was obtained after solubilization of thylakoids with a DM to Chl ratio of 10.

b

FCPa and FCPb were obtained after solubilization with a DM to Chl ratio of 40.
