[Degradation of Anacystis nidulans cells by the action of cyanophage AS-1]. / Degradatsiia kletok Anacystis nidulans pri deistvii tsianofaga AS-1.

The sequence of degradation of the photosynthetic apparatus of Anacystia nidulans after virus infection was studied using different methods. In the first stages of pathogenesis changes in the structure and functional activity of the photosynthetic apparatus were shown to be insignificant. At the stages of marked degradation the system of oxygen release and light collecting complex are destroyed gradually. The reaction center of photosystem I is the most resistant to degeneration.
