In mature unfractionated chloroplasts, the Chl a/Chl b ratio was about 2.8 and the ratios Chl/P700 = 580 and Chl/Q = 297 were comparable with those reported (20) for a variety ofhigher plant chloroplasts. Thus, spinach thylakoids appeared to have almost twice as much PSII reaction center as PSI reaction center (Q/P700 = 1.95). The stroma-exposed thylakoid membranes (fraction Y-100) FIG. 1.

The rate of light absorption by each PSI unit ofthe partition region must be greater in vivo than that detected depends directly on the antenna size of the light-harvesting in this study. These results support the concept of the lateral pigments associated with PSI. In principle then, one can obtain separation ofthe two photosystems in the thylakoid membrane an accurate estimate of the antenna size of the light-harvesting ofhigher plant chloroplasts (see Discussion).

Here, we found only 20% of the total P700 in the B-3 fraction compared with that ofchloroplasts (Table 1). This par- allels the depletion of the coupling factor (CF1) in the B-3 frac- tion (24). Because CF1 is likely to be restricted to nonappressed membranes only (25), its presence in the B-3 fraction could be attributed to contamination (24), as is the case with P700. Thus, one may argue that the low P700 content ofthe grana-partition DP pi vesicles (B-3) represents contamination from stroma-exposed CFE 1- ~ SUEM thylakoids containing CF1 (4, 24) and perhaps less than perfect CFI ( Grno prtition ) } separation ofthe partition region from the adjacent stroma thy- lakoid region.
