Cyclic Changes in Thylakoid Membranes of Synchronized Chlamydomonas reinhardi*

Seth Schor 1, Philip Siekevitz 1, George E Palade 1
PMCID: PMC286104  PMID: 16591831

Abstract

Cyclic variations in the activity of photosystems I and II occur during the cell cycle of wild-type Chlamydomonas reinhardi. These variations have been localized to chloroplast thylakoid membranes and correlated with corresponding changes in the ratio of chloroplast cytochromes to chlorophyll.
