Functional heterogeneity of the fucoxanthins and fucoxanthin-chlorophyll proteins in diatom cells revealed by their electrochromic response and fluorescence and linear dichroism spectra

Electrochromic transient, liner dichroism and 77 K fluorescence excitation and emission spectra show that fucoxanthins and fucoxanthin-chlorophyll proteins exhibit functional heterogeneity in diatom cells.
