Abstract excerpt
Glutathione (GSH) is a low molecular weight thiol compound that plays many roles in photosynthetic organisms. We utilized a ∆gshB (glutathione synthetase) mutant strain as a tool to evaluate the role of GSH in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 (hereafter Synechocystis 6803), a model photosynthetic organism. The ∆gshB mutant does not synthesize glutathione, but instead accumulates the GSH precursor,...
