Abstract
- The photosynthetic machinery of photosynthetic organisms is embedded in membrane composed from pigments, proteins and lipids. The unique lipid composition of thy -lakoid membrane can determine its functions. The alteration of the fatty-acid composition of glycerolipids in membranes can affect the physical characteristics of the membrane. Consequently it can affect the dependence of photosynthetic activities on the temperature of environment and the tolerance to temperature stresses.
