Structure of photosynthetic apparatus of brown alga Xanthonema debile

Using electron techniques we have determined and compared structure of the photosynthetic apparatus of brown algae X. debile. Structure of both photosystems I and II is similar to those of higher plants and green algae. New was the observation of the structure and aggregation light-harvesting antennae.
