ThepmgA-disrupted (ΔpmgA) mutant in the cyanobacteriumSynechocystissp. PCC 6803 suffers severe growth inhibition under photomixotrophic conditions. In order to elucidate the key factors enabling the cells to grow under photomixotrophic conditions, we isolated spontaneous suppressor mutants from the ΔpmgAmutant derived from a single colony. When the ΔpmgAmutant was spread on a BG11 agar plate supplemented with glucose, colonies of suppressor mutants appeared after the bleaching of the background cells. We identified the mutation site of these suppressor mutants and found that 11 mutants out of 13 had a mutation in genes related to the type 1 NAD(P)H dehydrogenase (NDH-1) complex. Among them, eight mutants had mutations within thendhF3(sll1732) gene: R32stop, W62stop, V147I, G266V, G354W, G586C, and deletion of 7 bp within the coding region. One mutant had one base insertion in the putative −10 box of thendhC(slr1279) gene, leading to the decrease in the transcripts of thendhCKJoperon. Two mutants had one base insertion and deletion in the coding region ofcupA(sll1734), which is co-transcribed withndhF3andndhD3and comprises together a form of NDH-1 complex (NDH-1MS complex) involved in inducible high-affinity CO2uptake. The results indicate that the loss of the activity of this complex effectively rescues the ΔpmgAmutant under photomixotrophic condition with 1 % CO2. However, little difference among WT and mutants was observed in the activities ascribed to the NDH-1MS complex, i.e., CO2uptake and cyclic electron transport. This may suggest that the NDH-1MS complex has the third, currently unknown function under photomixotrophic conditions.
