title: In vivo photoinactivation of ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase in the gas-vacuolate cyanobacteriumMicrocystis aeruginosa.
abstract: Irradiation of buoyant, gas-vacuolate cells of the cyanobacteriumMicrocystis aeruginosa by 5·10(4) Wm(-2) of blue light for 1 h caused a 5% loss of extractable ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase activity compared to dark and red-light controls. Ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase activity was unaffected by blue light in similar experiments conducted with cells containing collapsed gas vacuoles.
