Journal ArticleDOI

Electrochromism: a useful probe to study algal photosynthesis

TL;DR: In photosynthesis, electron transfer along the photosynthetic chain results in a vectorial transfer of protons from the stroma to the lumenal space of the thylakoids, which promotes the generation of an electrochemical proton gradient, which comprises a gradient of electric potential and proton concentration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dimer to monomer conversion of the cytochrome b6 f complex. Causes and consequences.

TL;DR: Results are consistent with the view that the dimer is the predominant form of the b6f in situ while the monomer observed in detergent solution is a breakdown product, and indirect observations suggest that subunit PetL plays a role in stabilizing the dimeric state.
Journal ArticleDOI

An original adaptation of photosynthesis in the marine green alga Ostreococcus

TL;DR: It is proposed that the diversion of electrons to oxygen downstream of PSII, but before PSI, reflects a common and compulsory strategy in marine phytoplankton to bypass the constraints imposed by light and/or nutrient limitation and allow successful colonization of the open-ocean marine environment.
Journal ArticleDOI

On the presence and role of a molecule of chlorophyll a in the cytochrome b6 f complex.

TL;DR: Several lines of evidence indicate that the chlorophyll is an authentic component of the b 6 f complex rather than a contaminant, and its possible evolutionary origin is briefly discussed.
