RESUMO
A mutant strain of Chlamydomonas reinhardi, ac-206, lacks cytochrome 553, at least in an active and detectable form. Chloroplast fragments of this mutant strain are inactive in the photoreduction of NADP when the source of electrons is water, but they are active when the electron source is 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol and ascorbate. The addition of either cytochrome 553 or plastocyanin, obtained from the wild-type strain, has no effect upon the photosynthetic activities of the mutant strain. Cells of the mutant strain lack both the soluble and insoluble forms of cytochrome 553, but they possess the mitochondrial type cytochrome c. Thus, the loss of cytochrome 553 appears to be specific.
