Linear and nonlinear optical responses in bacteriochlorophyll a.

abstract：:We have constructed a mutant Synechococcus sp. PCC 7942, termed R2HECAT, in which the entire phycobilisome rod operon has been deleted. In the whole cell absorption spectra of R2HECAT, the peak corresponding to phycocyanin (PC), λmax≈620 nm, could not be detected. However, a single pigment-protein fraction with λmax=6...
