Vesicles prepared with the French press from membranes of cyanelles of Cyanophora paradoxa retain O(2) evolution activity with rates up to 500 micromoles 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol reduced per hour per milligram chlorophyll. This activity is immediately lost when the vesicles are transferred from the sucrose-phosphate-citrate preparation buffer into dilute phosphate buffer. Similar preparations from Phormidium laminosum, a thermophilic cyanobacterium retain activity under such conditions. Photosystem I activities of both cyanobacterial vesicle preparations were determined by direct spectrophotometric measurement of N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine photooxidation in the presence of anthraquinone-2-sulfonate. The rates so determined were compared with rates of O(2) taken up in the presence of methyl viologen or anthraquinone-2-sulfonate as electron acceptors. The predicted stoichiometry of two was observed for moles of N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine oxidized per mole of oxygen taken up. Anthraquinone-2-sulfonate was the better electron acceptor, and maximal rates of 943 micromoles per hour per milligram chlorophyll for O(2) uptake were observed for Phormidium laminosum preparations in the presence of superoxide dismutase. For purposes of comparison, spinach chloroplasts were assayed for similar activities. All preparations were readily assayed for photosystem I activity by the direct spectrophotometric method, which has advantages of simplicity and freedom from errors introduced by photoxidation of other substrates by photosystem I when O(2) uptake is measured.
