The chromatophores of Rhodospirillum rubrum were found to synthesize in the light not only ATP and pyrophosphate but also high molecular weight polyphosphates. Biosynthesis of all studied compounds was inhibited by antimycin A, an inhibitor of the electron-transport photosynthetic chain. Synthesis of high molecular weight polyphosphates is stimulated, while that of pyrophosphate is inhibited, in the conditions providing intensive synthesis of ATP (in the presence of ADP and in the absence of oligomycin). The results obtained suggest that biosynthesis of high molecular weight polyphosphates is related to photosynthetic phosphorylation, via ATP but not pyrophosphate.
人们发现，深红红螺菌的载色体在光照下不仅能合成ATP和焦磷酸，还能合成高分子量的多聚磷酸盐。抗霉素A是光合电子传递链的抑制剂，它能抑制所有研究化合物的生物合成。在能促进ATP大量合成的条件下（存在ADP且不存在寡霉素），高分子量多聚磷酸盐的合成受到刺激，而焦磷酸的合成则受到抑制。所得结果表明，高分子量多聚磷酸盐的生物合成与光合磷酸化有关，是通过ATP而非焦磷酸实现的。
