Table 3. Quantum Yield Enhancement Effect Produced by Combining Wavelengths.
Light Spectrum | α Measured | α Calculated | Enhancement |
---|---|---|---|
Shade light spectrum | 0.085 ± 0.001 | 0.070 ± 0.001 | 21% |
Sunlight spectrum | 0.084 ± 0.001 | 0.076 ± 0.001 | 10% |
Enhancement of the quantum yield for CO2 fixation (α) under an actinic light spectrum similar to the growth light spectrum in comparison with α calculated as the weighted sum of 19 individual wavelengths across the actinic light spectrum (α over 400 to 725 nm; ±se).
