Abstract

The effect of iron on the culture growth and ultrastructure of the major strains of Acaryochloris marina is investigated. These high-iron cultures have showed an ultrastructure with thylakoid stacks that resemble traditional cyanobacteria and also a novel reversal in the pigment ratios of the photosystem II signature components chlorophyll a and phenophytina.
