- Summary
- Contrary to the prediction of the {open_quotes}Z-scheme{close_quotes} model of photosynthesis, experiments demonstrated that mutants of Chlamydomonas containing Photosystem II (PSII) but lacking Photosystem I (PSI), can grow photoautotrophically with O₂ evolution and using atmospheric CO₂ as the sole carbon source. Autotrophic photosynthesis by PSI-deficient mutants was stable both under anaerobic conditions and in air (21% O₂) at an actinic intensity of 200 μE/m⁻²{sup {sm_bullet}}s. This {open_quotes}PSII photosynthesis,{close_quotes} sufficient to support cell development and mobility, may also occur in wild-type green algae and higher plants. The mutants can survive under 2000 μE{sup {sm_bullet}}m⁻²{sup {sm_bullet}}s⁻¹ with air, although they have less resistance to photoinhibition.
