Abstract: | 1. Incubation of chloroplasts with HgCl2 at a molar ratio of HgCl2 to chlorophyll of about unity, induced a complete inhibition of the methyl viologen Hill reaction, as well as methyl viologen photoreduction with reduced 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol (DCIP) as electron donor. Photooxidation of cytochrome ? was similarly sensitive towards HgCl2, whereas photooxidation of P700 was resistant to the poison. Photoreduction of cytochrome ? and light-induced increase in fluorescence yield were enhanced by the HgCl2 treatment of chloroplasts. |
