Photosynthesis by isolated chloroplasts. Inhibition by DL-glyceraldehyde of carbon dioxide assimilation.
Photosynthetic carbon assimilation and associated CO(2)-dependent O(2) evolution by chloroplasts isolated from pea shoots and spinach leaves is almost completely inhibited by 10mm-dl-glyceraldehyde. The inhibitor is without appreciable effect on photosynthetic electron transport, photophosphorylation, the carboxylation of ribulose 1,5-diphosphate or the reduction of 3-phosphoglycerate, but apparently blocks the conversion of triose phosphate into ribulose 1,5-diphosphate.
