Chloroplasts from higher plants (Nicotiana tabacum var. John William's Broadleaf) exhibit a substantial oxygen uptake upon illumination with one or more short saturating light flashes. This uptake was detected and analyzed by means of mass spectrometry as 18 O 2-gas exchange following the addition of 5 ml 18 O 2 to the gas phase over the buffered reaction assay. Along with the light-induced oxygen uptake we measured photosynthetic water oxidation as oxygen evolution at m e= 32. The oxygen uptake of 18 O 2 measured at m e= 36 can be completely inhibited by various electron acceptors and by silicomolybdate in particular. The same holds true for PS II-inhibitors like DBMIB. The effects of DCMU and of different light qualities (blue, red and far-red) on the light-induced oxygen uptake are discussed. We conclude from our results that the chlororespiratory activity within the thylakoid membranes is responsible for the observed oxygen uptake and that the plastoquinone pool is the component shared between both, photosynthetic and respiratory electron transport chains.
