| Comments |
"Under optimal conditions,
Synechococcus 7002 displays growth rates which rank among the
fastest reported for any cyanobacterium. While the underpinnings of a high growth rate are not fully understood, this phenotype may partly arise from a naturally high PSII to PSI ratio
(typically ~0.5) (BNID 111246), relatively high chlorophyll
(Chl) content per cell, and low phycocyanin (PC) to allophycocyanin (APC) ratio (2:1) of the phycobilisome (primary source)." |
