Effects of intense PAR and UV radiation on photosynthesis, growth and pigmentation in the rice-field cyanobacterium Anabaena sp

Photochem Photobiol Sci. 2003 Jun;2(6):649-54. doi: 10.1039/b212652d.

Abstract

The relative importance of photosynthetically active radiation and UV on photoinhibition has been studied in the cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. by measuring the effective quantum yield, growth, pigmentation and fluorescence emission.
