Inhibition of oxygen evolution following illumination of Chlorella cells with far-red light.
The effect of brief far-red illumination on Chlorella pyrenoidosa cells has been investigated. An inhibition of oxygen evolution occurs 20 to 30 s after the end of the far-red illumination. This inhibition occurs in a step following the initial charge separation process by the System II centers. It is reversible in the light through a purely photochemical process.
