Flash-induced absorbance changes at 700 nm were used to determine the absorption cross-section of Photosystem I in whole cells of the cyanobacterium Synechococcus 6301. By varying the wavelength of the excitation flash an excitation spectrum for PS I was constructed. The excitation spectrum for PS I in dark-adapted (light-state 2) cells shows a large peak corresponding to absorbance by phycobilins. This peak is absent in phycobilisome-free thylakoid membranes. Adaptation to light-state 1 decreases the absorption cross-section of PS I with phycobilin-absorbed light, but has little effect with chlorophyll-absorbed light. The closure of PS II reaction centres has no detectable effect on the absorption cross-section of PS I, suggesting that energy transfer from phycobilisomes to PS I is direct rather than spillover from PS II. It is proposed that, in cells adapted to light-state 2, a proportion of phycobilisomes are specifically associated with PS I.
