Abstract excerpt
A constructed Synechocystis 6803 mutant with a deletion of the three psbA genes was subjected to ultrastructural and biochemical characterization. This D1-depleted mutant also lacks the D2 protein and the chlorophyll a-binding protein CP-47. A general ultrastructural comparison between the wild type and the mutant did not reveal any major changes in cell appearance. We found by freeze-fracture analysis that...
