Abstract
site in PSI, leading to a sustained decrease in the carbon fixation of cyanobacteria after an ephemeral increase. This work revealed the specific mechanism by which 6PPD-Q interferes with photosynthetic carbon fixation in cyanobacteria, which is highly important for the global carbon cycle.
