Fig. 3From: Combined resistance to oxidative stress and reduced antenna size enhance light-to-biomass conversion efficiency in Chlorella vulgaris culturesPhotosynthetic characterization of SOR strains. a Immunoblotting titration of photosynthetic subunits in thylakoid membranes. PSII biochemical antenna size (LHCII/CP43 ratio) and PSI/PSII ratio (PsaA/CP43) are shown in the table. The amount of Chls loaded for each lane is shown. b PSII functional antenna size. Variable Chl fluorescence was induced on dark-adapted cells of PG-14 and SOR mutant lines, in BG-11 medium supplemented with 50 μM DCMU. Data are expressed as mean ± SD, n = 10. See Table 1 for quantitative description of antenna size. c Light-saturation curves of photosynthesis. Data are expressed as mean ± SD, n = 4Back to article page
