N2 - Action spectra of light-induced membrane hyperpolarization and photosynthetic oxygen evolution were determined in cells of Egeria densa. Since both spectra were similar, photosynthetic pigments are assumed to be involved in the light-induced membrane hyperpolarization. However, the saturation levels of light fluencies differed greatly between the two light reactions. Light-induced hyperpolarization reached the maximum level at a light fluence less than one-tenth that needed for saturation of photosynthesis.
