Continuous chlorophyll degradation accompanied by chlorophyllide and phytol reutilization for chlorophyll synthesis in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803.
Chlorophyll synthesis and degradation were analyzed in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 by incubating cells in the presence of 13C-labeled glucose or 15N-containing salts. Upon mass spectral analysis of chlorophyll isolated from cells grown in the presence of 13C-glucose for different time periods, four chlorophyll pools were detected that differed markedly in the amount of 13C inc...
متن کاملCompetitive inhibitions of the chlorophyll synthase of Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 by bacteriochlorophyllide a and the bacteriochlorophyll synthase of Rhodobacter sphaeroides by chlorophyllide a.
The photosynthetic growth of Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 is hampered by exogenously added bacteriochlorophyllide a (Bchlide a) in a dose-dependent manner. The growth inhibition caused by Bchlide a, however, is relieved by an increased level of exogenously added chlorophyllide a (Chlide a). The results are explained by the competitive inhibition of chlorophyll synthase by Bchlide a, with i...
متن کاملPhotokinesis of Cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803
Motile cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 cells show photomovement with respect to the light stimulus. Under lateral irradiation, Synechocystis displays a phototactic gliding movement toward the light source by a twodimensional random biased walk. Under vertical irradiation, Synechocystis decreased the frequency of mean vectorial gliding speed dependent on the applied fluence rate, where...
متن کاملChlorophyll a availability affects psbA translation and D1 precursor processing in vivo in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803.
Transcript accumulation and translation of psbA as well as processing of the D1 precursor protein were investigated in relation to chlorophyll availability in vivo in cyanobacterial strains lacking photosystem I (PS I). The psbA transcript level was almost independent of chlorophyll availability and was approximately 3-fold lower in darkness than in continuous light (5 microE m-2 s-1). Upon ill...
متن کاملPhycobilin/chlorophyll excitation equilibration upon carotenoid-induced non-photochemical fluorescence quenching in phycobilisomes of the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803.
To determine the mechanism of carotenoid-sensitized non-photochemical quenching in cyanobacteria, the kinetics of blue-light-induced quenching and fluorescence spectra were studied in the wild type and mutants of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 grown with or without iron. The blue-light-induced quenching was observed in the wild type as well as in mutants lacking PS II or IsiA confirming that neithe...
