Title: | Photoadaptation in the green alga Spongiochloris sp. A three-fluorometer study | Authors: | Koblizek, M CISCATO, Massimo Komenda, J Kopecky, J Siffel, P Masojidek, J |
Issue Date: | 1999 | Publisher: | INST EXPERIMENTAL BOTANY, ACAD SCI CZECH REPUBLIC | Source: | PHOTOSYNTHETICA, 37(2). p. 307-323 | Abstract: | The dark-adapted cells of the green alga Spongiochloris sp. were exposed to "white light" of 1000 mu mol(photon) m(-2) s(-1) for 2 h and then dark adapted for 1.5 h. Changes of photochemical activities during photoadaptation were followed by measurement of chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence kinetics, 77 K emission spectra, photosynthetic oxygen evolution, and pigment composition. We observed a build-up of slowly-relaxing non-photochemical quenching which led to a decrease of the F-v/F-m parameter and the connectivity. In contrast to the depression of F-v/F-m (35 %) and the rise of non-photochemical quenching (similar to 1.6), we observed an increase in effective absorption cross-section (20 %), Hill reaction (30 %), photosynthetic oxygen evolution (80 %), and electron transport rate estimated from the Chl fluorescence analysis (80 %). We showed an inconsistency in the presently used interpretation schemes, and ascribe the discrepancy between the increase of effective absorption cross-section and the photosynthetic activities on one side and the effective nonphotochemical quenching on the other side to the build-up of a quenching mechanism which dissipates energy in closed reaction centres. Such a type of quenching changes the ratio between thermal dissipation and fluorescence without any effect on photochemical yield. In this case the F-v/F-m ratio cannot be used as a measure of the maximum photochemical yield of PS2. | Notes: | Acad Sci Czech Republ, Inst Microbiol, Dept Autotroph Microorganisms, Trebon 37981, Czech Republic.
