Photosynthetic functions and thylakoid membrane polypeptide composition in light-sensitive mutants of Chlamydomonas reinhardii.

abstract：:Marine macroalgae possess a range of mechanisms to increase the availability of CO2 for fixation by ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase. Of these, possession of a periplasmic or external carbonic anhydrase and the ability to use bicarbonate ions is widely distributed. The mechanisms of carbon acquisition w...
