Abstract

In the Bacillariophyta P. tricornutum, P. delicatissima and Nitzschia sp., Dinophyta P. nanum, Prymnesiophytа I. galbana and the Cyanobacteria S. elongatus, adapted to different spectral light compositions (white, blue, green, red), the intracellular pigment contents were studied. Significant changes in the сarotenoids / chl а pigment ratio (that is the characteristic of complementary chromatic adaptation) were not observed.
