Abstract excerpt
Phosphatidylglycerol (PG) depletion suppressed the oxygen-evolving activity of Synechocystis PCC6803 pgsA mutant cells. Shortage of PG led to decreased photosynthetic activity, which, similar to the effect of high light exposure, is likely to generate the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) or free radicals. Protection of the PG-depleted cells against light-induced damage increased the echinenone and...
