provided by Elsevier-Publisher Connector and the bidirectional hydrogenase [4]. Although the resolution of fluorescence microscopy is relatively low, it does give a very accurate, quantifiable picture of the larger-scale distribution and dynamics of electron transport complexes in the membrane. A common theme from all our studies is that bioenergetic membranes are heterogeneous on sub-micron scales, with complexes often clustered in domains around 100-200 nm in diameter. This distribution can have a strong influence on electron transfer pathways. In Synechococcus 7942, the distribution of respiratory complexes in the thylakoid membranes is regulated on a timescale of 30-60 min. in response to changes in the redox state of an electron carrier close to plastoquinone. Changes in distribution of complexes are associated with major changes in pathways of electron of transport [3]. In Synechocystis 6803, mutant studies suggest that photosynthetic electron transfer to the bidirectional hydrogenase can only occur when the hydrogenase is located in specific zones in the thylakoid membranes [4].
