In cyanobacteria the outer membrane, plasma membrane and thylakoid membrane represent three structurally and functionally distinct membranes. Common themes are emerging from studies of thylakoid membranes which show that the major functional components, including Photosystem I, Photosystem II, cytochrome b 6 f, NADH dehydrogenase, cytochrome oxidase, and ATP synthase, exist as multisubunit complexes within the membrane. These integral membrane complexes traverse the 4–5 nm lipid bilayer and extend into the stromal and lumenal spaces-thus virtually doubling the membrane thickness. In situ it appears that cytochrome b 6 f, cytochrome oxidase, and Photosystem II preferentially occur as dimers and Photosystem I as trimers. Determination of the density of the supramolecular complexes per thylakoid area and the spatial relationships among them can provide useful insight into membrane functional. Calculations suggest that at least 50% of the intramembrane area is occupied by photosystems I and II, cytochrome b 6 f, and CF0 of ATP synthase alone. Topographic mapping of the membranes can be pursued with gold-antibody labeling with a resolution of approximately 15–20 nm. Studies on complexes of the outer membrane, the plasma membrane, and the composition and influence of the peptidoglycan layer are still scarce and should be extended. The uniqueness of cyanobacterial membrane structure continues to emerge. Differences in the structure of the outer wall layers have been noted when compared to other eubacteria; however, essential thylakoid features are also found in prochlorophytes and eucaryotic algae oxygenic plants. These features emphasize that cyanobacteria and prochlorophytes should be considered a distinctive grouping of the eubacteria.
