Changes in photosynthetic activity, chlorophyll, and protein contents of C. reinhardtii cells after repetitive X-irradiation with 6 Gy. (A–D) The chlorophyll fluorescence and quenching parameters Fv/Fm, qP, NPQ, and the maximal electron transport rate ETRmax were obtained and used to evaluate the photosynthetic activity of C. reinhardtii cells as described in the Materials and Methods section. (E, F) The chlorophyll and protein contents (μg) of C. reinhardtii cells (108). Data represent the mean ± standard error (SE) with n = 9 from three independent experiments. Asterisks indicate significant differences between mock (white bars) and irradiated samples (gray bars) based on a two-sample independent t-test (p < 0.05).
