Abstract excerpt

A nitrofurantoin enrichment technique was used to isolate a spontaneous photosynthesis-deficient mutant strain of the unicellular cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. This mutant, SK18, lacked any photosystem II (PSII) activity, but had normal photosystem I. The SK18 mutant strain could not...
