Abstract excerpt
Anionic lipids, sulfoquinovosyldiacylglycerol (SQDG) and phosphatidylglycerol (PG), are major classes of the thylakoid membrane lipids in cyanobacteria and plant chloroplasts. PG is essential for growth and photosynthesis of cyanobacteria, algae and plants, but the requirement for SQDG differs even among cyanobacterial species. Although SQDG and PG can compensate each other in part presumably to maintain proper...
