Abstract:Fluorescence transients were investigated with the diatom Phaeodactylumtricornutum. Supplementary experiments were done with Chaetocerossp. Under weak excitation ({small tilde}103 erg/cm2sec), fluorescencetransients were induced simply by die oxidation-reduction reactionof Q, the primary reductant of photosystem II. The action spectraindicated that the electron transfer components between thetwo photosystems were in the most reduced state when fucoxanthinwas excited. The transients were observed with the 681 run emissionand with the 707 nm emission at room temperature. At –196°C,induction due to the reduction of Q. appeared both at the 681and 707 nm emissions. Similar results were also obtained withChaetoceros sp. Under strong excitation (104–105 erg/cm2-sec), the fluorescencetransients due to the interconversion between States 1 and 2of die pigment system (cf. ref. 27, 29) were observed. The transientswere induced by die alternate excitation of chlorophyll a andfucoxanthin or chlorophyll c. Conversion from State 2 to State1 was inhibited by DNP and CCCP, indicating that die processwas energy-dependent. Fluorescence spectra at –196°Cwere not altered by die state-conversion of die pigment system. These results suggest diat all die fluorescence bands whichappeared at room temperature and at –196°C were dueto die chlorophyll a of pigment system II in Phaeodactylum andChaetoceros.
