| Abstract | The thylakoid differentiation in the endosymbiotic cyanelle Cyanocyta korschikoffiana depends on the developmental stage o f the whole symbiotic association Cyanophora-Cyanocyta. D uring culturing under perm anent light the intrinsic or extrinsic location and the am ount o f the chlorophyll-protein complexes and of the phycobilines in the thylakoids change markedly. D uring this m odification o f the thylakoids the reaction centers of phytosystem I and II are more and more protected by other proteins. Moreover the am ount of phycobilisomes increases in relation to the am ount o f the chlorophyll-protein complexes. The energy transfer becomes more and more efficient. All these aspects show the typical behaviour of a mass culture of a free-living blue-green alga and imply th at Cyanocyta korschikoffiana is a symbiotic cyanelle much more than a chloroplast-like organelle. | ||
