title: Electron donors and acceptors in photosynthetic reaction centers.
abstract: A review is given of primary and associated electron transport reactions in various division of photosynthetic bacteria and in the two photosystems of plant photosynthesis. Two types of electron acceptor chains are distinguished: type 'Q', found in purple bacteria, Chloroflexus and system II of oxygenic photosynthesis and type 'F', found in green sulfur bacteria, Heliobacterium and photosystem I. Secondary donor reactions are discussed in relation to plant photosystem II.
