Particle aggregation in photosynthetic membranes of the blue-green alga Anacystis nidulans.
Freeze-fracture electron microscopy demonstrates that in photosynthetic membranes of the blue-green alga Anacystis nidulans quenched from a temperature below growth temperature, areas devoid of membrane particles occur. We suggest that this phenomenon is related to phase transitions in the photosynthetic membrane.
