Data in Fig, 2 illustrate a typical of R. nib rum chromatophores for photo reduction with the aromatic disulfide 5,5- dithiobis-2-nitrobenzoic acid (DTNB) as a thiol-trapping system. The assays were performed using media of two different ionic strengths. Both preparations carry out the light-activated photo reduction at iden- tical rates, under anaerobic conditions, when the ascorbate-indophenol system is used as the electron donor and methyl viologen as catalyst. However, preparations in media of low ionic strength invariably dis- play induction periods in photochemical activity, which is eliminated by salts. Induction is freely reversible and demonstrable with a large variety of di- and monovalent anions and cations; it is an effect of ionic strength on the particles. That elimination of the induction period is not solely the result of a general solute or osmotic process is indicated, because neither sucrose, urea, nor alcohols at relatively high concentration eliminate induction.
