Photosynthetic parameters derived from photosynthesis‐irradiance curves

Strain α (μmol O2 mg chl. a −1 h−1 (μmol photons m−2 sec−1)−1) I K (μmol photons m−2 sec−1) P max (μmol O2 mg chl. a −1 h−1)
WT 0.61 ± 0.06A 442 ± 16A 389 ± 56A
zep3‐2 0.33 ± 0.04B 567 ± 68B 275 ± 60A
zep3‐2 + ZEP 0.44 ± 0.04A 490 ± 76A 314 ± 31A

Strains were evaluated for the light limited slope of photosynthesis (α), the irradiance at saturation (I K) and maximal rates of photosynthesis (P max). Values are averages (n = 3) ± standard deviation. Letters indicate statistical differences between samples (P < 0.05).
