✦ Synopsis


Eosin, a known generator of singlet oxygen, applied to leaf discs of Pisum sativum L. sensitized the inhibition of photosynthesis. Analysis of partial photosynthetic electron-transport reactions and of the kinetics of variable chlorophyll fluorescence located the damage at photosystem II. This injury required the presence of oxygen and was also caused by the irradiation of eosin-treated leaf tissue with green light. The role of oxygen and photodynamic reactions in the susceptibility of photosystem II to damage by environmental stresses is discussed.

## Abstract Photodynamic inactivation of bacteria (PDIB) is considered a new approach for the struggle against multiresistant bacteria. To achieve a sufficient level of bacteria killing, the photosensitizer must attach to and/or penetrate the bacteria and generate a sufficiently high amount of sing

Singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ) can be generated in a living cell upon focused laser irradiation of the intracellular photosensitizers. 1 O2 lifetime in the living cells is shortened by the reactions with cellular molecules, and thus the 1 O2 diffusion in a single cell has attracted much attention.
