Description
A brief exposure (15-30 min) of green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii cells to high intensity light (100 W·m-2) was accompanied by rapid suppression of photosynthetic O2 evolution. The decline in the rate of O2 evolution was accompanied by stimulation of H2 production. The effect was dependent on cell suspension density, culture age, and light intensity. It appears that photoinhibition of photosynthetic O2 evolution led to anaerobiosis that is favorable for H2 production. (author)
