A chlorophyll c-like pigment, similar to magnesium-3,8-divinyl pheoporphyrin a5 monomethyl ester, has been isolated from Prochloron sp. obtained from five species of didemnid ascidians from the Great Barrier Reef, Australia, and from Palau, Micronesia. The pigment represents 4-15% of the total chlorophyll content and is shown to function in a light-harvesting pigment protein complex of Prochloron. The observation that all of the major chlorophylls (a+b+c) function in a light-harvesting role in Prochloron and possibly in other prochlorophytes is discussed in terms of the phylogeny of the prochlorophytes.
一种类似叶绿素c的色素,类似于3,8-二乙烯基焦脱镁叶绿酸a5单甲酯,已从澳大利亚大堡礁和密克罗尼西亚帕劳的5种海鞘类动物中分离出的原绿藻中提取出来。该色素占叶绿素总量的4%-15%,并被证明在原绿藻的捕光色素蛋白复合体中发挥作用。根据原绿藻的系统发育,讨论了所有主要叶绿素(a+b+c)在原绿藻以及可能在其他原绿藻中发挥捕光作用的观察结果。
