Two spectrally distinct components in preparations of chlorophyll c


Play all audios:

ABSTRACT ALTHOUGH chlorophyll _c_ has been purified by several different methods1–3, its reported spectral properties vary widely. The ratios of Soret (450 nm) to red (630 nm) bands of


chlorophyll _c_ in diethyl ether have been given as 7.0 (ref. 4), 8.9 (ref. 2), 11.4 (ref. 1), 11.5 (ref. 3) and 12.5 (ref. 5). Some of these differences in band ratios can now be explained


by the finding of two spectrally distinct components in preparations of chlorophyll _c_. In addition, different marine algae contain different proportions of the two components. Each


component has a three-banded chlorophyll _c_ spectrum which differs markedly in band ratios, with, however, only small differences in the position of the absorption maxima. Separation of the


two components was achieved on thin layers of a special polyethylene powder (Dow Chemical Co., melt index <2, particle size about 1 micron). Access through your institution Buy or
