Blue light stimulated oxygen uptake mediated by FMN in a colorless Chlorella mutant
Keyword(s):
In a colorless Chlorella mutant we have found only a very slight enhancement of oxygen uptake in blue light unless FMN is added to the medium. Inhibitor studies and control experiments show that a biological oxidation is involved in the increased oxygen uptake in addition to the well-known photochemical oxidations caused by free FMN. We conclude that FMN is a necessary cofactor in the blue light stimulated oxygen uptake observed in this mutant. Because of its direct role in the process FMN probably also functions as the primary light receptor. The relationship of this enhanced oxygen uptake to the blue light enhancement effects reported by others is considered briefly.
