The fine structure of the chloroplast of wild-type and 9 photosynthetic mutant strains of Chlamydomonas reinhardi is described. The chloroplast phenotypes of the mutant strains are clearly distinct from the wild type in all but 2 cases. Moreover, strains with similar photosynthetic disabilities have structurally similar chloroplasts. These differences are apparently not the result of altered chlorophyll content, nor of photosynthetic inactivity. It is therefore proposed that the structural alterations are in some way related to the mutant strains' inability to synthesize active components of the photosynthetic electron transport chain.
野生型和 9 种光合突变株的衣藻叶绿体的精细结构被描述。除了 2 种情况外,突变株的叶绿体表型与野生型明显不同。此外,具有相似光合缺陷的菌株具有结构相似的叶绿体。这些差异显然不是由于叶绿素含量的改变,也不是由于光合作用的不活跃。因此,有人提出,结构的改变与突变株无法合成光合电子传递链的活性成分在某种程度上有关。
