Phycobilisome integrity and functionality in lipid unsaturation and xanthophyll mutants in Synechocystis.

abstract：:To investigate the impact of iron deficiency on bioenergetic pathways in Chlamydomonas, we compared growth rates, iron content, and photosynthetic parameters systematically in acetate versus CO(2)-grown cells. Acetate-grown cells have, predictably (2-fold) greater abundance of respiration components but also, counter-...
