Fig 6

Potential of isolated spinach thylakoids/chloroplasts to evolve O2 rapidly on exposure to light of 600 μmol photons m-2s-1. Rate of photosystem (PS) II dependent O2 evolution was measured polarographically according to Shabnam et al. [8], using Oxygraph system enabled Clark type liquid phase O2 electrode (Hansatech Ltd., UK). Thylakoids/Chloroplasts equivalent to 20 μg of chlorophyll were used for each assay. It is evident that isolated thylakoids/chloroplasts evolve O2 only in presence of light.
