Structure of the Photosynthetic Apparatus in Protein-embedded Chloroplasts
The photosynthetic apparatus in higher plants has been found to be located in complex lipoprotein membrane systems in the chloroplasts called grana. Electron microscopy has provided invaluable information in determining the fine structure of grana (6-9, 11, 21, 28-30). However, due to the harsh methods employed in fixation (usually by osmium tetroxide or potassium permanganate) and dehydration ...
متن کاملIntracellular spectral recompositioning of light enhances algal photosynthetic efficiency
Diatoms, considered as one of the most diverse and largest groups of algae, can provide the means to reach a sustainable production of petrochemical substitutes and bioactive compounds. However, a prerequisite to achieving this goal is to increase the solar-to-biomass conversion efficiency of photosynthesis, which generally remains less than 5% for most photosynthetic organisms. We have develop...
متن کاملPhotosynthetic reactions of chloroplasts with unusual structures.
Photosynthetic reactions of whole leaves and isolated chloroplasts from various mutants of Nicotiana tabacum have been correlated to the lamellar structure seen in electron micrographs of the chloroplasts. In this way it could be established that a fully active photosystem I can be associated with single unfolded thylakoids. The complete photosynthetic electron transport system including the ox...
متن کاملEffect of hydrolytic enzymes on the photosynthetic efficiency and morphology of chloroplasts.
Both lipase from runner beans and a protease (pronase) initially cause increased intensity dependence of the DCPIP Hill reaction of spinach chloroplasts. This is followed by an increase in the extrapolated zero intensity quantum requirement. Pronase treatment of the chloroplasts causes rapid changes in absorption and ORD spectra, whereas the effect of lipase treatment is much less pronounced. L...
متن کاملOxidative photosynthetic phosphorylation by spinach chloroplasts.
In an earlier note, evidence was presented for the occurrence of a new type of chloroplast-catalyzed photosynthetic phosphorylation called “oxidative photophosphorylation” (I). When spinach chloroplasts are illuminated in the presence of orthophosphate, adenosine diphosphate, and a dye such as trichlorophenol indophenol, adenosine triphosphate is generated provided oxygen is available, but not ...
