摘要
The rates of carotenoid-to-chlorophyll a singlet energy transfer in thylakoid membrane preparations from the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum and the eustigmatophyte Nannochloropsis sp. (clone GSB Sticho) have been determined by femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy. The transfer time in the eustigmatophyte is 0.24±0.04 ps; in the diatom, the transfer is found to be double exponential with transfer times of 0.5±0.1 and 2.0±0.5 ps and relative amplitudes of 1.7±0.7:1. These results are used to determine that the carotenoid-chlorophyll electronic coupling matrix element is approximately 100 cm-1 for these species. © 1990.
