Superoxide Dismutases in Photosynthetic Organisms

  • Chapter
Iron and Copper Proteins

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 74))

Abstract

Although molecular oxygen is an effective electron acceptor, for most organisms oxygen is harmful unless they have a protective mechanism against oxygen toxicity. This is especially the case when the organisms are irradiated “by visible light at high intensity mainly due to photodynamic action of endogeneous pigments. For example, almost all of non-photosynthetic microorganisms are not able to survive under sun light.
