Regulation of Photosynthetic Carbon Metabolism in Isolated Spinach Chloroplasts Under Photorespiratory and Non-Photorespiratory Conditions
Abstract
dc:descriptionThe regulatory aspects of several added metabolites on photosynthetic carbon metabolism in isolated spinach chloroplasts were examined. Under conditions of ambient O(,2), saturating HCO(,3)('-) and a range of phosphate concentrations (0.1-10 mM), PGA and DHAP (1-6 mM each) reduced ('14)CO(,2) fixation by 60% of the control rate when the ratio of triose phosphate (TP): phosphate (ie., DHAP: phosphate, PGA: phosphate, or (DHAP + PGA): phosphate) exceeded 8. Ratios of TP: phosphate greater than 6 prevented light activation of RuBP carboxylase.
