Spectral characteristics of the photosynthetic apparatus in Luminiphilus syltensis Ivo14Tand Pseudohaliea (= Haliea ) rubra DSM 19751T. Cells of Luminiphilus syltensis Ivo14T (red line) were grown in SYMHC medium in the dark under air atmosphere, while Pseudohaliea rubra DSM 19751T (green line) was cultured in SYPHC medium in the light. The position of distinct peaks of the spectra is indicated. A.U., arbitrary units of absorbance. A. Whole-cells absorption spectra. B. Spectra of acetone/methanol extracts showing the characteristic peaks of BChl a and spirilloxanthin.
