Parameters were measured on dark-adapted cell suspension of WT, PG-14 and SOR strains, upon 7 days of photoautotrophic growth in BG-11 medium in low light conditions (100 µmol photons m−2 s−1, 25 °C). Data are expressed as mean ± SD, n > 4. For each parameter measured, significantly different values among genotypes (ANOVA test, p < 0.05) are marked with different letters
