Abstract
Much is known about cyanobacterial photosynthesis including photosynthetic electron flow, the latter being essentially of chloroplast type (Stanier, Cohen-Bazire 1977); yet, only few data are available on respiratory electron transport (Peschek 1983a). Tight functional links between photosynthesis and respiration, maybe a result of common evolutionary roots (Broda, Peschek 1979), have long been discussed for phototrophic prokaryotes. In a few nonsulfur purple bacteria these links were identified with electron carriers common to photosynthesis and respiration (Baccarini-Melandri, Zannoni 1978). In cyanobacteria such identification has been attempted only quite recently (Peschek, Schmetterer 1982; Peschek 1983b).
