Abstract
Abstract— The copper quenching effect on fluorescence in Dunaliella tertiolecta was studied. 30% of variable fluorescence was quenched in the presence of 70 μ,M CuS04. We confirmed that the copper inhibitory effect on photosystem II (PSII) activity is located on its oxidizing side. Further, we indicate that the complementary area is decreased by copper. Since the quantum yield of PSII photochemistry was lowered and the rate of PSII primary electron acceptor QA remained unaffected, we can conclude that some PSII reaction centers were inactivated by copper.
