✦ Synopsis

In the unicellular green alga Chlorogonium elongatum, the synthesis of the plastid enzyme ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBPCase) and its mRNAs is under the control of light and acetate. Acetate is the sole metabolizable organic carbon source for this organism. Light greatly promotes the synthesis of RuBPCase and the increase in the concentration of the mRNAs of both subunits of the enzyme while acetate has a strong inhibitory effect on this process. There is a good agreement between RuBPCase synthesis and the amount of translateable RuBPCase mRNA present in cells which are cultured under different conditions (autotrophic, heterotrophic, mixotrophic). During the transition period after transfer of the cells from heterotrophic to autotrophic growth conditions the amounts of the large and small subunits of the enzyme increase well coordinated. In contrast to the protein subunits the two subunit-mRNAs accumulate with different kinetics.

In the green alga Chlorogonium elongarum the promoting effect of light on the synthesis of ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBPCase) is mainly caused by blue light of wavelengths between 430 nm and 510 nm, with a maximum effect at about 460 nm. Blue light also causes an increase in the

Rhodopseudomonas capsulata produces both an intermediate (I) and a large (L) form of ribulose-l,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase. Both forms are derepressed under CO2-1imiting conditions. The L-form of the enzyme is completely repressed when the culture is grown either photoautotrophically or ph
