Chlorophylls and bacteriochlorophylls, together with carotenoids, serve, noncovalently
bound to specific apoproteins, as principal light-harvesting and energy-transforming …

Figures showing species and properties relevant to non-photochemical quenching
studies.(a) Filamentous planktonic cyanobacteria Dolichospermum crassum and D. flos …

Chlorophylls (Chls) are known for fast, subpicosecond internal conversion (IC) from
ultraviolet/blue-absorbing (“B” or “Soret” states) to the energetically lower, red light …

The antenna of photosystem II in plants possesses a remarkable functional flexibility,
allowing for the photoprotective regulation of light-harvesting in the face of rapid fluctuations …

Spheroidene and spheroidenone from the non-sulfur bacterium Rhodobacter (Rba.)
sphaeroides were incorporated into diphenylamine (DPA) LH1-RC and LH2 complexes from …

Femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy following two-photon excitation (2PE) is
used to determine the contributions of carotenoids and chlorophylls to the 2PE signals in the …

In addition to (bacterio) chlorophylls,(B) Chls, photosynthetic pigment–protein complexes
bind carotenoids (Cars) that fulfil various important functions which are not fully understood …

The effects brought about by growing Allochromatium (Alc.) minutissimum in the presence of
different concentrations of the carotenoid (Car) biosynthetic inhibitor diphenylamine (DPA) …

Effect of carotenoid (Car) biosynthesis inhibitor diphenylamine (DPA) on purple sulfur
bacteria Allochromatium (Alc) minutissimum cell growth has been investigated. Cell growth …
