Under iron starvation, blue light-induced nonphotochemical quenching in cyanobacteria involves the phycobilisome OCP-related energy dissipation mechanism and not IsiA.

Claim 3mechanistic rolesupports2007Source 1DOIPubMed

IsiA initially protects iron-starved cyanobacterial cells by increasing the size of the photosystem I antenna.

Quoted textsource-backed
IsiA, however, does seem to protect the cells from the stress generated by iron starvation, initially by increasing the size of the photosystem I antenna.

IsiA subsequently converts excess energy absorbed by phycobilisomes into heat through a mechanism different from dynamic and reversible light-induced NPQ processes.

Subsequently, the IsiA converts the excess energy absorbed by the phycobilisomes into heat through a mechanism different from the dynamic and reversible light-induced NPQ processes.
Claim 5non requirementsupports2007Source 1DOIPubMed

In iron-starved cyanobacterial cells, absence of IsiA does not affect induction or recovery of blue light-induced fluorescence quenching.
