Abstract excerpt
psbK encodes a small transmembrane component of PSII. Here we report that the psbK-disruptant of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 cannot survive under photomixotrophic conditions of light and glucose after transient growth, while the wild type is able to grow. A spontaneous yellow-green mutant that recovered the sustained growth under the same conditions was isolated from the psbK-disruptant. Instead of recovery, the...
