The emission and action spectra of fluorescence of photosynthetic pigments, especially of chlorophyll a, were studied in spinach chloroplasts, Anacystls nidulans, Porphyra yezoensia, Porphyridium cruentum and other photosynthetic organisms at -196[degree], to elucidate the behavior of the pigments in fluorescence and energy transfer. At[long dash]196[degree], in most of the materials used, 3 emission bands of chlorophyll a were observed at 684 m[mu], 695 m[mu] and 710-735 m[mu] (designated as F684, F695 and F-l). The mission and action spectra showed that F684 and F695 were excited by the light absorbed by phycobilins or chlorophyll b (pigment system II) and were excited less effectively, or not at all, by the light absorbed by chlorophyll a (pigment system I). F-1 was excited by both wavelength regions. The light absorbed by pigment system I was more effective for F-1 than for F684 and F695, and the light absorbed by pigment system n was more effective for F 684 and F695 than for F-1. A quantum yield of fluorescence as high as 0.75 was obtained in spinach chloroplasts at[long dash]196[degree]. At this temperature, F-1 amounted to approx. 3/4 of the total quanta emitted, even upon excitation by 475-m[mu] light. It was concluded that 2 forms of chlorophyll a emitting F684 and F695 are contained in pigment system II, while F-1 is involved in pigment system I. Energy is transferred from pigment system II to I, at least at[long dash]196[degree] and presumably also at physiological temperatures.
