Plastid thylakoid architecture optimizes photosynthesis in diatoms

Phytoplankton and plant plastids have distinct evolutionary origins and membrane organization. Here Floriet al. show that diatom photosynthetic complexes spatially segregate into interconnected subdomains within loose thylakoid stacks enabling fast diffusion of electron carriers and efficient photos...
