  • Title: The photosynthetic electron transport chain of Chlamydomonas reinhardi. 8. The 520 nm light-induced absorbance change in the wild-type and mutant strains.
    Author: Chua NH, Levine RP.
    Journal: Plant Physiol; 1969 Jan; 44(1):1-6. PubMed ID: 5775849.
    Abstract:
    The 520 nm light-induced absorbance change in wild-type and 4 mutant strains of Chlamydomonas reinhardi was investigated. In the wild-type strain the absorbance change is composed of at least 2 components, P520 I and P520 II, sensitized by Systems I and II respectively. Some of the properties of these components can be studied by using the appropriate photosynthetic mutant strain. A group of mutant strains modified in the photochemical complex of System II shows only the P520 I absorbance change, whereas a mutant strain deficient in active P700 exhibits only the P520 II absorbance change. The possible relationship between these absorbance changes and the photosynthetic electron transport pathway is discussed.
