Abstract A complex regulatory network in the chloroplast
of green algae provides an efficient tool for maintenance
of energy and redox balance in the cell under aerobic
and anaerobic conditions. In this review, we discuss the
structural and functional organizations of electron transport
pathways in the chloroplast, and regulation of photosynthesis
in the green microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.
The focus is on the regulatory mechanisms induced in response
to nutrient deficiency stress and anoxia and especially
on the role of a hydrogenase-mediated reaction in
adaptation to highly reducing conditions and ATP deficiency
in the cell.
