Cell differentiation and pigment composition in Anabaena cylindrica
Tóm tắt
Cell differentiation in Anabaena cylindrica is accompanied with characteristic changes in the pigment composition of heterocysts and spores. In both the absence of phycocyanin is consistent with the lack of CO2-fixing ability previously reported. The presence of chlorophyll and β-carotene suggests a functional photosystem I in heterocysts. In the spores chlorophyll is largely replaced by pheophytin. The quantitative distribution of carotenoids is also affected. An increase in the proportion of β-carotene is characteristic of heterocysts while spores show a larger proportion of xanthophylls compared with the intact filament.
