The Effect of Manganese on Chloroplast Structure and Photosynthetic Ability of Chlamydomonas reinhardi1
AUTOR(ES)
Teichler-Zallen, Doris
RESUMO
Manganese deficiency was induced in mixotrophically-grown cultures of the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardi and the effects of this deficiency on photosynthetic activity and cell structure were investigated. Manganese-deficient cells are unable to carry out, at normal rates, photosynthetic reactions involving system II of the photosynthetic electron transport chain. Reactions requiring only system I are not inhibited. Normal system II activity returns within 2 hr in the light following addition of manganous ions to deficient cells.
