Three chlorophyll-protein complexes have been resolved from blue-green algae using an improved procedure for membrane solubilization and electrophoretic fractionation. One complex has a red absorbance maximum of 676 nm and a molecular weight equivalency of 255 000 +/- 15 000. A second complex has an absorbance maximum of 676 nm, a molecular weight equivalency of 118 000 +/- 8000, and resembles the previously described P-700-chlorophyll a-protein (CPI) of higher plants and algae. The third chlorophyll-protein has a red absorbance maximum of 671 nm and a molecular weight equivalency of 58 000 +/- 5000. Blue-green algal membrane fractions enriched in Photosystem I and heterocyst cells do not contain this third chlorophyll-protein, whereas Photosystem II-enriched membrane fractions and vegetative cells do. A component of the same spectral characteristics and molecular weight equivalency was also observed in chlorophyll b-deficient mutants of barley and maize. It is hypothesized that this third complex is involved in some manner with Photosystem II.
