Abstract excerpt
The psbZ gene of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 encodes the approximately 6.6 kDa photosystem II (PSII) subunit. We here report biophysical, biochemical and in vivo characterization of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 mutants lacking psbZ. We show that these mutants are able to perform wild-type levels of light-harvesting, energy transfer, PSII oxygen evolution, state transitions and non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) under...
