Carbon dioxide fixation in the light and in the dark by isolated spinach chloroplasts.

چکیده
Factors affecting CO(2) fixation in the spinach (Spinacia oleracea) chloroplast were investigated. Free magnesium ions are shown to be highly inhibitory for photosynthetic CO(2) fixation in isolated intact spinach chloroplasts. The pH optimum for CO(2) fixation is about 8.5 but is dependent upon the reaction medium. Conditions are defined under which chloroplasts illuminated in the absence of CO(2) accumulate ribulose 1,5-diphosphate, and fix CO(2) in a subsequent dark period when high magnesium ion concentrations are provided. The regulation of photosynthetic CO(2) assimilation by these factors is discussed.

Nitrite Reduction in Reconstituted and Whole Spinach Chloroplasts during Carbon Dioxide Reduction.
Nitrite reduction in either whole, isolated spinach chloroplasts (Spinacia oleracea L.) or in reconstituted spinach chloroplasts is stimulated by a short period of photosynthetic CO(2) fixation in the light prior to nitrite addition. With reconstituted chloroplasts, a similar stimulation can be obtained in nitrite reduction without CO(2) fixation by the addition of dihydroxyacetone phosphate or...
متن کاملInhibition of photosynthetic carbon dioxide fixation in isolated spinach chloroplasts exposed to reduced osmotic potentials.
Reduced osmotic potentials inhibited the rate of CO(2) fixation by isolated intact spinach (Spinacia oleracea) chloroplasts. This inhibition was observed immediately after transfer of chloroplasts from a solution containing 0.33 m sorbitol to higher sorbitol concentrations, and the depressed rate remained constant. The inhibited CO(2) fixation could not be attributed to a decreased rate of phot...
متن کاملEffects of glycidate on carbon dioxide fixation with isolated spinach chloroplasts.
Glycidate (2,3-epoxypropionate) stimulated CO(2) fixation in isolated spinach chloroplasts up to 100%. In the presence of glycidate the initial lag phase was abolished and the chloroplasts exported mainly 3-phosphoglycerate instead of dihydroxyacetone phosphate.Glycolate formation was not inhibited by glycidate, which is in agreement with the observation that preactivated ribulose-1,5-bisphosph...
متن کاملResponse of carbon dioxide fixation to water stress: parallel measurements on isolated chloroplasts and intact spinach leaves.
Application of water stress to isolated spinach (Spinacia oleracea) chloroplasts by redutcion of the osmotic potentials of CO(2) fixation media below -6 to -8 bars resulted in decreased rates of fixation regardless of solute composition. A decrease in CO(2) fixation rate of isolated chloroplasts was also found when leaves were dehydrated in air prior to chloroplast isolation. An inverse respons...
متن کاملStudies on photosynthetic processes. I. The effect of light intensity on triphosphopyridine nucleotide reduction, adenosine triphosphate formation, and carbon dioxide assimilation in spinach chloroplasts.
Although there is a considerable amount of information on the effect of light intensity on O2 evolution and, to a lesser extent, COz assimilation in intact plants (l), there are few reports on the effect of light intensity on the photosynthetic processes known to occur in the isolated chloroplast and chloroplast fragments. Isolated chloroplasts have the ability to assimilate CO2 (‘2, 3), and ch...
