Abstract
Bicarbonate (or CO2) was shown by Warburg and Krippahl [1] to stimulate electron transport during the Hill reaction. This phenomenon has been referred to as the bicarbonate (HCO3 −) effect. The electron transport chain can be dissected into a number of clearly defined partial reactions through the addition of specific inhibitors and electron donors and acceptors. By applying this approach (see e.g., [2, 3]) the HCO3 − effect has been shown to be associated with the acceptor side of Photosystem II (PS II):
