The light-harvesting complexes (LHC) were isolated from the unicellular alga Mantoniella squamata (Prasinophyceae) by sucrose-density centrifugation. Beside the major LHC (II), a photosystem I complex was obtained that could be dissociated into a photosystem I core complex and an associated LHC I. In contrast to other chlorophyll b-containing antennae, both LHC II as well as LHC I were observed to be identical with respect to the following features: the molecular weights, the isoelectric points and the retention behavior on anion-exchange chromatography of the apoproteins, the pigment content and the absorption and fluorescence spectra
