Partial reactions of photosynthesis were examined in the wild
type strain and six photosynthetic mutants (8, 11, 26, 40, 50, a') of
Scenedesmus obliquus, strain D₃. A reproducible procedure for the
isolation of active chloroplast fragments from Scenedesmus was
developed. Several chloroplast reactions were examined, as well
as two in...
The photosynthetic activities, the pigmentation and the chloroplast
membrane polypeptides of several mutants of the green alga, Scenedesmus
obliquus, with complete or limited deficiencies in the light-harvesting
complex of photosystem II are characterized and compared to those of the
normal phenotype.. The principal phenotype examined in this study, K0 -9,...
