Photosynthetic electron flow, driven by photosystem I and II, provides chemical energy for carbon fixation. In addition to a linear mode a second cyclic route exists, which only involves photosystem I. The exact contributions of linear and cyclic transport are still a matter of debate. Here, we describe the development of a method that allows quantification of electron flow in absolute terms through photosystem I in a photosynthetic organism for the first time. Specific in-vivo protocols allowed to discern the redox states of plastocyanin, P700 and the FeS-clusters including ferredoxin at the acceptor site of PSI in the cyanobacteriumSynechocystissp. PCC 6803 with the near-infrared spectrometer Dual-KLAS/NIR. P700 absorbance changes determined with the Dual-KLAS/NIR correlated linearly with direct determinations of PSI concentrations using EPR. Dark-interval relaxation kinetics measurements (DIRKPSI) were applied to determine electron flow through PSI. Counting electrons from hydrogen oxidation as electron donor to photosystem I in parallel to DIRKPSImeasurements confirmed the validity of the method. Electron flow determination by classical PSI yield measurements overestimates electron flow at low light intensities and saturates earlier compared to DIRKPSI. Combination of DIRKPSIwith oxygen evolution measurements yielded a proportion of 35% of surplus electrons passing PSI compared to PSII. We attribute these electrons to cyclic electron transport, which is twice as high as assumed for plants. Counting electrons flowing through the photosystems allowed determination of the number of quanta required for photosynthesis to 11 per oxygen produced, which is close to published values.
