Methods.-" Broken" chloroplasts28 (P18 or C18) were used in all experiments. The incandescent light used for illumination was filtered through a Jena G1 or G2 filter, which cut off light of wavelength shorter than 500 m1A. The ATP formed was estimated by the method of Hagihara and Lardy.'9 Other experimental procedures were the same as thoseused previously. 28Results and Discussion.-In the mechanisms currently envisaged in our labora-tory, 10'20 cyclic and noncyclic photophosphorylation share the same primary photochemical act which gives rise, within the chloroplasts, to an electron flow from an excited chlorophyll molecule to an endogenous, primary electron acceptor. If, as recent results have shown, 6 ferredoxin is the earliest primary electron acceptor that can now be isolated following the photochemical act, then it follows that photo-reduction of ferredoxin should be a common feature of the electron flow pathways of either cyclic or noncyclic photophosphorylation. The two pathways would differ in the electron acceptors beyond ferredoxin. In the case of noncyclic photo-phosphorylation, the electrons from ferredoxin would be transferred to TPN,
