Abstract
The dichroism was measured in films of air-dried and, consequently, flattened chromatophores of Chromatium vinosum, Rhodopseudomonus sphaeroides and Rhodospirillum rubrum. The values (δA/A) of dichroism in C. vinosum were found to be −1.05 at 590 nm and 0.75 in the near infrared region. The values of dichroism in R. sphaeroides were −0.70 at 590 nm and 0.80 at 870 nm. The values of dichroism in R. rubrum were −1.45 at 590 nm and 0.97 at 870 nm.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
