The role of Cl(-) in photosynthetic O(2) evolution has been investigated by observing the (35)Cl NMR linewidth under a variety of conditions in aqueous suspensions of chloroplasts, primarily for the halophytes Avicennia germinans, Avicennia marina, and Aster tripolium but also for spinach. The line broadening shows there is weak, ionic binding of Cl(-) to thylakoids, the bound Cl(-) exchanging rapidly (&gt;&gt;10(4) sec(-1)) with free Cl(-) in solution. The binding is necessary for O(2) evolution to occur. Michaelis-Menten constants obtained from the Cl(-) dependence of the O(2) evolution rate are approximately 15-70 mM for the halophytes compared with 0.6 mM for spinach (0.5 mM with Br(-)). There appear to be two types of Cl(-) binding sites in halophytes, of which the stronger is the activator, at lower [Cl(-)], of O(2) evolution. The (35)Cl line broadening includes a nonspecific interaction, which becomes apparent at high Cl(-) concentrations (&gt;/=0.5 M).
