Photochemical methods [6] have been developed to provide an environmentally friendly system that employs light energy to regenerate NAD(P)H, for example, by the use of a cyanobacterium, a photo synthetic biocatalyst. Using the biocatalysts, the... 

Tieszen 1991). Water stress, for instance, lowers photo synthetic discrimination against C, resulting in isotopic enrichment. C4 plants are not affected isotopically by environmental parameters although their distributions are (Ehleringer et al. 1997). Under conditions of increasing aridity, the climate variable of most likely importance in African sites, C3 plants should become slightly more enriched on average. Therefore one should be cautious about use...

High-potential iron-sulfur proteins (HiPIP) form a family of small (—6-10 kDa) soluble electron transport proteins originally only found in photo synthetic representatives of the proteobacteria (for reviews,... 

The redox potentials of iron-sulfur centers vary considerably, depending on the type of center (242) and its environment in the protein (243), ranging from about -700 mV in the case of some [4Fe-4S] centers (244, 245) to about +450 mV in the case of some [4Fe-4S] centers (246). Iron-sulfur centers therefore act as redox centers in numerous electron transfer systems, including the respiratory and photo synthetic bioenergetic chains as well as a wide variety of redox enzymes. Among the many studies that have dealt with these systems, some have yielded structural information of the kind described in Section III. Most of them were designed, however, to measure the...

Finally, energy migration, i.e. excitation energy hopping, in polymers, artificial antenna systems, photo synthetic units, etc. can be investigated by fluorescence polarization (see Chapter 9). 

A //-cyclodextrin bearing seven 2-naphthoyloxy chromophores, CD7(6), is a good model for studying the effect of the excitation wavelength on energy hopping among chromophores in well-defined positions, as in photo synthetic antennae. 

The photo synthetic aquatic biomass comprises cyanobacteria (formerly called blue-green algae), planktonic, filamentous and macrophytic algae, and vascular macrophytes. The net productivity of the floodwater depends on the level of primary production by the photosynthetic biomass versus its consumption by grazing animals, particularly cladocerans, copepods, ostracods, insect larvae and molluscs. Their role will change as the canopy develops and at a leaf area index of about 6-7 there will be no more photosynthetically active radiation available to them.

In the preceding discussions, we assumed labile DOC and DON to be produced at rates y/c and y/N, respectively, without discussing their sources and how the production rate and the composition of the produced material would be expected to vary with food web structure. The important differences among different models can be illustrated by some examples. One potential model is that DOC production is an overflow mechanism occurring in mineral-nutrient-limited phytoplankton not able to use the photo-synthetically produced organic carbon for biomass production due to lack...
