Photosynthetic Pigments
Location
Specific proteins hold in membrane - nonpolar
Species-specific proteins define real absorption
Naked pigment uses discrete value - e.g. 770
Species-specific proteins alter - e.g. 800, 900
Different methods for naked vs. protein-bound

Chlorophylls (Chl) - Oxygenic
Plants - green a and b
Algae - green a/b, gold/brown a/c, red a/d
Cyanobacteria - green a only
All of these, when excited by UV, “fluoresce” or emit light in the red or yellow range.

Accessory Pigments - Oxygenic
Carotenes - yellow or red, WIDESPREAD
Xanthophylls (brown), phycoerythrin (red)

Bacteriochlorophylls (Bchl) - Anoxygenic Purple bacteria - Bchl aGreen bacteria - Bchl cHeliobacteria - Bchl g

Accessory Pigments - Anoxygenic
Carotenes - yellow or red, WIDESPREAD
Phycocyanin - blue, similar to phycoerythrin
Many chemotrophic pathogens have carotenes because these neutralize H2O2.

Isolating Naked Pigments
Because nonpolar, organic solvents involved
Methanol for research-grade work - GLOVES
Acetone acceptable/available - harsh
Because cell walls, you will pulverize sample
Petroleum ether (jar/hood) - chromatography
Data useful for major grouping assignments
A spectrophotometer allows one to skip chromatography.

Isolating Protein/Pigments IN Membrane
Disrupt cells using just pulverization - expensive
Fragmented pigments called “in vivo”
Data useful for grouping and species variation

Archaeal “Photosynthesis” - Class By ItselfRemarkably, these are commercially available.
Why Unique?Bacteriorhodopsin (Brho) pigment in membraneLight causes Brho to physically move H+ outThis generates proton motive force - ATPaseNO ETC involved in this process
Brho homologous to eukaryotic rhodopsin.

Halophiles
5.5+ M salt - many different ions and pH
Evaporation ponds, salt lakes, salted foods
Halobacterium = phototropic halophile
Many other Halophiles are not photosynthetic. They are simple chemotrophs.

Photosynthesis and Evolution
Hot earth and the purple origin theory
Ancient earth - 100°C but dark
Heat gives off infrared - 900 nm or more
Emerging purple Bchl absorb this
Human eyes and salty Archaea - speculate all you want.

What does the tree of life support?
Green nonsulfur most ancient - purple members
Phototrophy evolved many times
Chloroplast most similar to Cyanobacteria

Pigment Analysis Set-Up
Overview
Each team will set up 2-3 different phototrophs
You will pulverize the sample in methanol
Extract 15 minutes - ice/dark
Then streak on chromatography paper, develop
And analyze the rest on a spectrophotometer
Share class data - need all for web analysis
Analyze fluorescence data on web template.
