In cyanobacteria, cytochrome c6 and plastocyanin are able to replace each other as redox carriers in the photosynthetic and respiratory electron transport chains with the synthesis of one or another protein being regulated by the copper concentration in the culture medium. However, the presence of a third unidentified electron carrier has been suggested. To address this point, we have constructed two deletion...
