Abstract:A chromatic adaptation in the photosynthetic quantum yield forthe light mainly absorbed by chlorophyll a (Chl a light) firstfound by Yocum (1951) was studied with one red and three blue-greenalgal strains. When the cells were grown under a weak Chl alight, the quantum yield in all the strains increased. Comparisonof photosystem (PS) compositions, including phycobilin (PBP)and Chl a antennae, reaction centers I and II, in the cellsgrown under the light mainly absorbed by PBP and Chl a revealedthat changes in quantum yield could be attributed to changesin the ratio of PS I/II; PS I/II becomes larger than 1 underPBP light but decreases to 1 in most cases under Chl a light.The change in the PS I/II ratio is due solely to the changesin the PS I population in the cell; PS II remains constant.These results are similar to the intensity-dependent responsein PS composition. A common hypothesis for both the chromatic and intensity-inducedregulation of PS composition was proposed based on the ideaof balance between the electron flow from H2O to NADP drivenby PS I and II and the cyclic one driven by PS I.
