Acidity of the Thylakoid Lumen in Plastids Makes Sense from an Evolutionary Perspective
An acid pH in the lumen of chloroplast thylakoids is necessary in order to derive the required amount of CO2 to account for the observed rates of carbon fixation. We point out that the endosymbiotic derivation of...
