Abstract excerpt
The PsaE protein is located at the reducing side of photosystem I (PSI) and is involved in docking the soluble electron acceptors, particularly ferredoxin. However, deletion of the psaE gene in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 inhibited neither photoautotrophic growth, nor in vivo linear and cyclic electron flows. Using photoacoustic spectroscopy, we detected an oxygen-dependent, PSI-mediated...
