Abstract excerpt
Cytochrome c6, the product of the petJ gene, is a photosynthetic electron carrier in cyanobacteria, which transfers electrons to photosystem I and which is synthesised under conditions of copper deficiency to functionally replace plastocyanin. The photosystem I photochemical activity (energy storage, photoinduced P700 redox changes) was examined in a petJ-null mutant of Synechocystis PCC 6803. Surprisingly,...
