Effect of pigment composition on absorption properties of phytoplankton
Abstract
Absorption spectra of several phytoplankton species were decomposed, after correction for the particle effect, to estimate in vivo absorption properties of the major light-harvesting pigments in algae.A Gaussian shape is suitable, theoretically and empirically, to represent the absorption spectra of individual photosynthetic components.The Gaussian parameters agreed well with the expected pigment compositions of 3 groups of algae, and the peak heights were linearly correlated with the concentrations of any one of the 4 major pigments measured in the samples.The linear relationship did not vary with phytoplankton species.We present here the first estimates of the 'true' in vivo specific absorption coefficients of 4 major pigments, after correction for particle effect.The results are used to reconstruct the in vivo absorption spectrum of a multi-species sample.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
