PHOTO PHOSPHORYLATION IN R. RUBRUM 221 



be carefully examined, to exclude the possibility that various reducing 

 and oxidizing agents have not bypassed the antimycin sensitive site 

 by changes in the redox balanceof the system. Such changes could lead 

 to the re- establishment of cyclic photophosphorylation.
