Fundamentals of Photsynthetic Activity and Cell Arrangement
• Highly folded inner membrane• Thylakoid, lamelle, tubes,
vessicles, chlorosomes, grana• Pigments
• Chlorophyll, bacteriochlorophyll, rhodopsin, carotenoid, phycobillins
• Light reactions• electron transport, proton gradient,
ATPase

Fundamentals of Photsynthetic Activity and Cell Arrangement
• Internal Space• Stroma, cytoplasm,
carboxysome
• CO2-Fixation
• Calvin-Bensen Cycle, Reductive TCA cycle, glyoxylate pathway
• Dark Reactions

Modes or Styles of Photosynthesis
Archaean Unique, simple
Anoxygenic Various pigments: purple or
green H2S or H2 as electron donor
Oxygenic Similar to plants and algae H2O as electron donor

Reducing Power? Cyanobacteria, Algae,
Plants Electrons from H2O
reduce NADP+ to NADPH
NADPH used in reduction of CO2 to Glucose

Anoxygenic Phototsynthesis Ancient form of metabolism – predates
oxygenic photosynthesis and aerobic respiration
Bacteria Designated by Pigments – Purple or Green Electron Donor – Sulfur or Non-sulfur
Cyclic Photophosphorylation
