Transfer of the Excitation Energy in Anacystis nidulans Grown to Obtain Different Pigment Ratios

TLDR
The blue-green alga, Anacystis nidulans, was grown in lights of different colors and intensities, and its absorption and fluorescence properties were studied to suggest reduced efficiency of energy transfer from phycocyanin to the strongly fluorescent form of chlorophyll a and perhaps increased transfer to the weaklyorescent form of chlorine a.About:

TL;DR: The description of energy transfer, in particular multichromophoric antenna structures, is shown to vary depending on the spatial and energetic landscape, which dictates the relative coupling strength between constituent pigment molecules.

Light-harvesting processes in algae
TL;DR: This chapter intends to bring much of the dispersed literature together, so as to achieve an integrated framework from which conclusions can be drawn to further stimulate research on algae.

TL;DR: Application of the Planck law relation to published activation spectra for Systems I and II of spinach chloroplasts permits independent calculation of the luminescence spectra of the two systems; if the luminecence yield of System I is taken to be one-third the yield of system II, then the combined luminescent spectrum closely fits published experimental measurement.
