Elevated Levels of Specific Carotenoids During Acclimation to Strong Light Protect the Repair of Photosystem II in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

Elevated Levels of Specific Carotenoids During Acclimation to Strong Light Protect the Repair of Photosystem II in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

The tolerance of photosynthesis to strong light increases in photosynthetic organisms during acclimation to strong light. We investigated the role of carotenoids in the protection of photosystem II (PSII) from photoinhibition after acclimation to strong light in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp....
