HPLC analysis of chlorophyll (Chl)a′ and pheophytin (Pheo)acontent was run for wild typeChlamydomonas reinhardtiiand seven mutants with impaired photosynthetic functions. Four of them had no or little Photosystem II (PS II) activity. Two had no Photosystem I (PS I) activity and no P-700. In the seventh mutant, both photosystems were present but the main light-harvesting antenna (the chlorophyll-protein complex corresponding to PS II: CP II) was totally lacking because of the absence of Chlb. In mutants impaired in PS II activity, Pheoais either lacking or found in only low amounts in direct relation with the loss in PS II activity. These results are in agreement with the well-known role of Pheoaas a primary electron acceptor in PS II. In mutants impaired in PS II activity the Chla′ level is normal. In mutants impaired in PS I activity (P-700 less mutants), only half of the normal content of Chla′ is present. So Chla′ is associated exclusively with PS I as demonstrated before by Watanabe (Watanabe, T., Kobayashi, M., Hongu, A., Nakazato, M., Hiyama, T. and Murata, N. (1985) FEBS Lett. 191, 252–256). But only half the Chla′ content could be P-700. This last result contradicts Watanabe's conclusion that the whole Chla′ constitutes P-700. On the other hand, there is no relation between the presence of Chla′ and the second Chla-protein complex of PS I: CP 0a. The possible function of Chla′ related to PS I activity is discussed.
