    Abstract

    1. Pigments extracted from reaction center particles of Rhodopseudomonas spheroides were separated and identified by means of thin-layer chromatography. 2. The results strongly suggest that bacteriochlorophyll a is the only bacteriochlorophyll pigment present in reaction centers. 3. Other compounds identified are bacteriopheophytin a, ubiquinone-10 and spheroidene.
