Significance To optimize their photosynthetic performance, most oxygen-evolving organisms are able to shuttle light-harvesting pigment–protein complexes between photosystems I and II. These photosystems work in series to transform light energy into chemical energy. It is generally accepted that 80% of the light-harvesting complexes is participating in the reorganization in the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, a model organism for photosynthesis research. However, in the present paper, we demonstrate that such a large remodeling does not occur. Light-harvesting complexes can indeed detach from photosystem II, but only a small fraction subsequently attaches to photosystem I, and it is demonstrated how this leads to photoprotection in high-light conditions. This phenomenon has significant implications for our way of thinking about the efficiency regulation in photosynthesis. Plants and green algae optimize photosynthesis in changing light conditions by balancing the amount of light absorbed by photosystems I and II. These photosystems work in series to extract electrons from water and reduce NADP+ to NADPH. Light-harvesting complexes (LHCs) are held responsible for maintaining the balance by moving from one photosystem to the other in a process called state transitions. In the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, a photosynthetic model organism, state transitions are thought to involve 80% of the LHCs. Here, we demonstrate with picosecond-fluorescence spectroscopy on C. reinhardtii cells that, although LHCs indeed detach from photosystem II in state 2 conditions, only a fraction attaches to photosystem I. The detached antenna complexes become protected against photodamage via shortening of the excited-state lifetime. It is discussed how the transition from state 1 to state 2 can protect C. reinhardtii in high-light conditions and how this differs from the situation in plants.
