Mn2+ and Co2+ toxicity in chlorophyll biosynthesis

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

The metal ion-induced inhibition of tetrapyrrole biosynthesis was studied in the cyanobacterium Anacystis nidulans. The accumulation of protoporphyrin and Mg protoporphyrin due to the effect of Co2+ and Mn2+ treatment, respectively, pointed to two different sites of inhibition.
