Abstract
The mathematical analysis described in the preceding paper (Biochim. Biophys. Acta (1977) 460, 65–75), in which the steady-state photooxidation of P-700 was compared with overall electron flux in Photosystem I chloroplast fragments, was applied to membrane fragments from the blue-green alga Nostoc muscorum (Strain 7119) noted for their high activity of both Photosystem I and Photosystem II. The same analysis, which gave good agreement between the photooxidation of P-700 and the overall light-induced electron flux (measured as NADP + reduction) in Photosystem I chloroplast fragments, revealed in the algal membrane fragments two P-700 components: one responding to high light intensity ( P-700 HI), the photooxidation of which was in good agreement with the overall electron flux (measured as NADP + reduction by reduced 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol), and the other component responding to low light intensity ( P-700 LI), the photooxidation of which was not correlated with the reduction of NADP + by reduced 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol.
