The chloroplast is the chlorophyll-containing organelle that produces energy through photosynthesis. Within the chloroplast is an intricate network of thylakoid membranes containing photosynthetic membrane proteins that mediate electron transport and generate chemical energy. Historically, electron microscopy has been a powerful tool to visualize the macromolecular structure and organization of thylakoid membranes. However, understanding thylakoid membrane dynamics remains elusive because electron microscopy requires fixation and sectioning. To improve knowledge of thylakoid membrane dynamics, we need to overcome at least two issues: 1) the live-cell imaging conditions to visualize active processes in vivo; and 2) the spatial resolution to differentiate thylakoid membrane characteristics. Here, we utilize three-dimensional structured illumination microscopy (3D-SIM) to explore the optimal imaging conditions to investigate the dynamics of thylakoid membranes in live cells of plants and algae. We show that 3D-SIM is capable of examining broad characteristics of thylakoid structures in chloroplasts of the vascular plant Arabidopsis thaliana and distinguishing the structural differences between wild-type and mutant strains. Using 3D-SIM, we also visualize thylakoid organization in whole cells of the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. These data reveal that high light intensity changes thylakoid membrane structure in C. reinhardtii. Moreover, we observed the green alga Chromochloris zofingiensis and the moss Physcomitrella patens to show the applicability of 3D-SIM. This study demonstrates that 3D-SIM is a promising approach to study the dynamics of thylakoid membranes in photoautotrophic organisms during photoacclimation processes.
