title: Cytochrome b/f Complex Is Not Involved in Respiration in the Cyanobacterium Synechocystis PCC 6803 Grown Photoautotrophycally.
abstract: Respiratory oxygen uptake was not suppressed by the inhibitor of the quinol oxidation site of cytochrome b/f complex 2,5-di-bromo-3-methyl-6-isopropyl-p-benzoquinone (DBMIB), but by far-red illumination in Synechocystis PCC 6803 cells grown photoautotrophically. It is proposed that cytochrome b/f complex is not involved in the respiratory electron transport.
