| PS IIa/ß Heterogeneity during the Cell Cycle of the Unicellular Green Alga Chlorella fusca  | | | | Abstract
| Fluorescence induction m easurem ents indicate a PS II(L ,p heterogeneity in the unicellular green alga Chlorella fusca. Under normal light the relative amount of PS II" is decreasing from 63% to 43% during the first 8 h o f the cell cycle. The rate constant ka shows a concom itant decrease by 20% in the first 4 h. The relative am ount and antenna size of PS IIa is restored in the dark. In contrast, PS II(rcentres show the sam e rate constant during the whole cell cycle. Under low light ka is increased by approximately 30% over the cell cycle, whereas no change o f kp is observed. It is concluded that the PS II organization of Chlorella is changed both during the cell cycle and the adaptation to light intensity by a com plex regulation (i) involving the antenna size o f a-centres and (ii) changing the quantitative relationship of fast and slow reaction centres. | | | |
