Abstract excerpt
Under conditions of iron deficiency certain cyanobacteria induce a chlorophyll (Chl)-binding protein, CP43', which is encoded by the isiA gene. We have previously suggested that CP43' functions as a nonradiative dissipator of light energy. To further substantiate its functional role an isiA overexpression construct was introduced into the genome of a cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. PCC 7942 (giving isiAoe...
