Temperature induced remodeling of the photosynthetic machinery of the red alga Cyanidioschyzon merolae

Cyanidioschyzon merolae is a thermophilic red alga with an optimum growth temperature of 42°C. In this study we investigated the acclimation process of the alga to a colder temperature (25°C). To this aim we performed quantitative proteomic analyses of whole cells as well as solubilized thylakoid protein complexes.
