Paper Summary

Cyanobacteria have different proteins in their membranes that help with photosynthesis. Some proteins are found in both the cytoplasmic and thylakoid membranes, while others are only in the thylakoid membranes. The distribution of these proteins can change depending on the growth stage of the cyanobacteria.
