Abstract
The rate of the irreversible damage to the reaction center II, caused by exposure of spinach thylakoids to high light was slowed down by anacroble conditions and by lowering the temperature. The protective mechanisms of these conditions were different. In both cases F max decreased more slowly than in control photoinhibition. A reversible intermediate step was only observed under unacrobic conditions. This state was inactive for oxygen evolution and it was characterized by an increase of F v.Keywords
