In this contribution we describe the changes in structure and functioning of the photosynthetic apparatus of the unicellular green alga Scenedesmus obliquus induced by inhibition or induction of polyamine biosynthesis. The synthesis or inhibition is controlled by white light of low and high intensit

β¦ Synopsis
The three main polyamines putrescine (Put), spermidine (Spd) and spermine (Spm) were characterized by HPLC in intact spinach leaf cells, intact chloroplasts, thylakoid membranes, Photosystem II membranes, the light-harvesting complex and the PS II complex. All contain the three polyamines in various ratios; the HPLC polyamine profiles of highly resolved PS II species (a Photosystem II core and the rection center) suggest an enrichment in the polyamine Spin.
