Abstract
Chloramphenicol inhibited significantly but incompletely photosynthesis in leaf segments of rice. Fluorescence and polarographic experiments indicated that chloramphenicol competes with the CO2 reducing cycle for electrons from photosystem I because it serves as an electron acceptor of photosystem I and its reduction intermediate transfers its electron to molecular oxygen.Keywords
