Cyanobacteria are photoautotrophic prokaryotes with a plant-like photosynthetic machinery. Besides being able to grow photoautotrophically, some cyanobacteria are also capable to grow photoheterotrophically, where they use reduced organic compounds as carbon source, or even completely heterotrophically by using reduced organic compounds as carbon and energy source. The well characterized cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 can grow in darkness under light-activated heterotrophic growth (LAHG) conditions by using glucose as carbon and energy source. In the present work, we combined pre-fractioning of Synechocystis cellular membranes with a global proteome and lipidome analysis, to shift the analytical focus towards the rearrangement of the internal thylakoid membrane system observed in Synechocystis cells under LAHG conditions.
