Light harvesting complexes and chromatic adaptation of Eustigmatophyte alga <i>Trachydiscus minutus</i>

Abstract

The chromatic adaptation of Trachydiscus minutus was investigated by separation of light harvesting complexes (antennae and photosystems) on a sucrose gradient using variety of detergents and their concentrations, further complex purification and characterization was done using biochemical separation and spectroscopic techniques.
