Abstract
WHILE carrying out a biochemical study of the photosynthetic system of Anabaena cylindrica, we have found that a chromoprotein isolated from the algal cells is active in the photo-oxidation of ascorbate. We report here the methods for isolation of the active chromoprotein, and some of its characteristics.
