Relationship between growth temperature of Anacystis nidulans and phase transition temperature of its thylakoid membranes.
The temperatures of the lipid phase transition at which the solid phase disappears were determined by using the X-ray diffraction method in thylakoid membranes of the blue-green alga, Anacystis nidulans. The temperatures were determined as 26 and 16 degrees C for cells grown at 38 and 28 degrees C, respectively.
