Some derive their carbon from inorganic sources, and their hydrogen from hydrogen sulfider or other inorganic compounds, while other bacteria may be photosynthetic or saprobic.
Larix kaempferi Carr. seedlings were more photophilic and had strong photosynthetic capacity, which were not prone to photoinhibition,while Larix gmelinii Rupr. seedlings were more shade-tolerant.
Two japonica rices, Wuyujing 3 and 97 7 were used to study changes in contents of soluble protein, free amino acids and endopeptidase activity during photosynthetic declination.
It is found in the enzyme cytochrome c oxidase, which is part of the respiratory electron-transport chain, and in the protein plastocyanin, which is involved in photosynthetic electron transport.
