PHOTOASSIMILATION OF GLUCOSE BY CHLORELLA IN MONOCHROMATIC LIGHT AND THE INHIBITION BY DCMU AND ANTIMYCIN A.
Abstract
It was investigated whether monochromatic light beyond 700 millimicrons can bring about light dependent glucose uptake in the absence of O2 and CO2. The effects of DCMU and antimycin A on photoassimilation of glucose were studied. Glucose assimilation proceeds at a high rate even beyond 700 millimicrons. It is inhibited only about 30% by DCMU at a concentration where photosynthesis is completely inhibited. Antimucin A inhibits to 70% where photosynthesis is hardly effected. These results are strong evidence for the existance of cyclic photophosphorylation in vivo. (Author)
