Carotenoid Composition of Spinach Chloroplast Grana and Stroma Lamellae

Carotenoid Composition of Spinach Chloroplast Grana and Stroma Lamellae

Stroma lamellae and grana stacks prepared by French press rupture of spinach (Spinacia oleracea) chloroplasts contain similar amounts of β-carotene on a protein basis. The grana fraction has considerably more xanthophylls than does the stroma fraction. Total carotenoid to chlorophyll ratios are simi...

Zusammenfassung:Stroma lamellae and grana stacks prepared by French press rupture of spinach (Spinacia oleracea) chloroplasts contain similar amounts of β-carotene on a protein basis. The grana fraction has considerably more xanthophylls than does the stroma fraction. Total carotenoid to chlorophyll ratios are similar for both fractions.
