RESUMO
Light-induced absorbance changes were investigated in chloroplast fragments of wild type Chlamydomonas reinhardi and 5 different mutant strains having impaired photosynthesis. Two absorbance changes were detected, 1 having a maximum at 553 nm and the other at 559 nm. The component exhibiting the 553 nm change is a cytochrome similar to cytochrome f from higher plant chloroplasts. The component exhibiting the 559 nm change has the properties of a cytochrome similar to cytochrome b3. Two of the mutant strains (ac-115 and ac-141) were found to lack the 559 cytochrome and light induced only the oxidation of the 553 cytochrome. A third mutant strain (ac-206), previously shown to lack the 553 cytochrome, exhibited only the light-induced reduction of the 559 cytochrome. A fourth mutant strain (ac-208), shown to lack plastocyanin, exhibited absorbance changes attributable to both cytochromes. However, light was capable of inducing the reduction of the 559 cytochrome but not its oxidation. On the other hand, light induced the oxidation of the 553 cytochrome but not its reduction.
