In the context of flow cytometry data:
The Lactobacillus cells also show a clear increase in PerCP (red) fluorescence when stained with SYBRGreen (SG) compared to unstained cells. Why might this be the case? Think about the emission spectrum of chlorophyll and SG in combination with the dichroic mirrors (e.g. the ‘filters’ for the detectors).
Name the photoreceptor pigment found in halophile bacteria.

- At your work station, you have a spectrophotometer set at 600 nm to measure DCIP absorbance and four (4) test tubes containing different solutions. One of the test tubes is labelled “0” to blank/zero the spectrophotometer. The other three (3) test tubes contain a reaction mixture from a Hill reaction experiment using isolated chloroplasts and DCIP as an electron acceptor. DCIP is present in the oxidized state and exhibits a blue color with an absorbance at 600 nm. Upon receiving the electrons, DCIP is reduced to form DCIP-H2 that is colorless. These three (3) tubes, labelled “A”, “B”, and “C” were exposed to different light conditions during the Hill reaction. The Light conditions were random, including No light, Red light, and Green light.
