Changes in lipid composition induced by environmental and genetic manipulation

We will investigate whether oxygen depletion will change the lipid composition in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 using chromatography and mass spectrometry techniques. Several enzymes with homology to enzymes involved in ubiquinone biosynthesis in other organisms appear to be involved in plastoquinone synthesis in cyanobacteria. We will investigate the functions of open reading frames with homology to ubiquinone synthesis in other…
