Photo-CIDNP MAS NMR presents a unique tool to obtain insight into the photosynthetic reaction centers (RCs) of bacteria and plants. Using the dramatic enhancement of sensitivity and selectivity of the solid-state photo-CIDNP effect, structural as well as functional information can be obtained from the cofactor molecules forming a light-induced spin-correlated radical pair (SCRP) in a given reaction center. Here we demonstrate that the effect can be observed in a further species, which belongs neither to the plant nor the bacteria kingdom.  Cyclotella  ( C. )  meneghiniana  is a member of the diatom phylum and, therefore, belongs to the kingdom of chromista. Chromista are some of the most productive organisms in nature, even in comparison to trees and terrestrial grasses. The observation of the effect in chromista indicates that the effect occurs in all photosynthetic organisms and completes the list with the last phototrophic kingdoms. Our data also demonstrate that the photo- and spin-chemical machineries of photosystem I of plants and chromista are very similar with respect to structure as well as function.
