Evidence from in vivo manipulations of lipid composition in mutants that the delta 3-trans-hexadecenoic acid-containing phosphatidylglycerol is involved in the biogenesis of the light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b-protein complex of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.

Abstract excerpt
The phosphatidylglycerol containing the unusual delta 3-trans hexadecenoic fatty acid is specifically found in photosynthetic membranes of eukaryotic organisms. Its involvement in the biogenesis and the structure of the light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b-protein complex has been evidenced by in viv...
