Abstract

Four different photosynthetic mutants of Euglena gracilis were characterized as to their lesions in photosynthetic electron transport. Two were defective around photosystem II: one, in electron transport on the oxidizing side of photosystem II, and the second lacked cytochrome 558. The location of the defect in the third mutant was concluded to be in the carbon fixation cycle, since it could catalyse both photosynthetic electron transport and photophosphorylation. The fourth mutant had a defect in its mechanism of photophosphorylation.
