Abstract

Effects of ultraviolet-B (UV-B) irradiation on ultrastructure, total cellular protein, and PS2 proteins D1 and D2 of Synechococcus sp. PCC 7942 cells was studied. The scanning electron micrographs showed UV-B radiation induced bending of the cells. The transmission electron micrographs revealed disorganization and shift in thylakoid lamellar structure to one side of the cell. The cellular phycocyanin/chlorophyll ratio decreased with increasing UV-B treatment and due to this the colour of cells turned light-green. No apparent change in total cellular proteins was evident, but the contents of two major proteins of PS2, D1 and D2, showed decline due to UV-B irradiation, although to different extent.
