Abstract
The structural behavior of model assemblies composed of monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG) and digalactosyldiacylglycerol (DGDG), the two main galactolipids found in plants, was investigated at the air/water interface and in aqueous dispersion. To approach the composition of the natural photosynthetic membranes, tunable Langmuir model membrane of galactolipids (GL) were used, and were complexified to form either heterogenous binary or ternary assemblies of GL, phospholipids (PL), and phytosterols (pS). The impact of pS, 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) or both on the structural properties of GL membrane was studied. The nature of the interactions between the different molecules was investigated using biophysical characterizations (ellipsometry, tensiometry, atomic force microscopy). In addition, the phase behavior was determined by SAXS analysis on the model assemblies in aqueous dispersions. Results revealed the good interfacial stability of these specific plant membrane lipids. The morphology of the GL film was characteristic of a fluid phase, with an interfacial roughness induced by the intercalation of monogalactosyl and digalactosyl polar heads of MGDG and DGDG, respectively. A phase heterogeneity in the monolayer was induced by the addition of DPPC and/or pS, which resulted in the modification of galactolipid organization and headgroup interactions. These structural changes were confirmed by SAXS analysis, showing more favorable interactions between MGDG and DPPC than between DGDG and DPPC in aqueous dispersion. This phenomenon was exacerbated in the presence of pS.

Abstract
The cell wall of microalgae presents a formidable barrier necessary for survival in aquatic environments. Unfortunately, this barrier affects certain processes of interest in algal biotechnology such as oil extraction. Thus, assessing the impact of lytic peptides or enzymes on algal cell wall degradation is a critical first step to utilizing algal biomass more efficiently. Galactolipids are the main structural component of plant chloroplastic membranes and blue-green algae cell membranes. The predominant lipids in this class are monogalactosyl-diacylglycerol (MGDG) and digalactosyl-diacylglycerol (DGDG). Here using de Langmuir monolayer technique, we have demonstrated that melittin, a lytic peptide, has an intrinsic propensity to interact and perturb interfacial monolayers made of MGDG or DGDG that mimic microalgae cell wall.

Abstract
Steroids constitute one of the most important groups of compounds of regulatory properties both in the animal and plant kingdom. In plants, steroids such as brassinosteroids or progesterone, by binding to protein receptors in cell membranes, regulate growth and initiate processes leading to increased tolerance to stress conditions. Due to their structural similarities to sterols, these steroids may also directly interact with cellular membranes. Our aim was to determine the changes of the structural parameters of lipid membranes under the influence of hydrophobic steroid compounds, i.e., 24-epibrassinolide (EBR) and its precursor-24-epicastasterone (ECS) and progesterone (PRO). Lipids were isolated from wheat seedlings with different tolerances to frost, grown at low temperatures (5 °C) for 1.5 and 3 weeks (acclimation process). Control plants were cultured continuously at 20 °C. From galactolipids and phospholipids, the main polar lipid fractions, the monolayers were formed, using a technique of Langmuir trough. EBR and ECS were introduced into monolayers, together with lipids, whereas the PRO was dissolved in the aqueous sub-phase upon which the monolayers were spread. Measurements performed at 25 °C and 10 °C showed a significant action of the tested compounds on the physicochemical properties of the monolayers. EBR and PRO increased the area per lipid molecule in monolayers, resulting in formation of more flexible surface structures while the presence of the ECS induced the opposite effect. The influence of the polarity of lipids and steroids on the interactions in the monolayer was discussed. Lipids extracted from the membranes of wheat with the most tolerance to frost were characterized by the highest fatty acid unsaturation and steroids had a relatively weak effect on the parameters of the structure of their monolayers.

Abstract
The degree of lipid unsaturation is a parameter used to describe membrane susceptibility to oxidation. This paper highlights the importance of double bond distribution in the hydrophobic parts of lipid layers. The problem was studied by determining the effects induced by ozone dissolved in an aqueous phase acting on layers of unsaturated cholines of various molecular structures, including bi-unsaturated (DOPC), mono-unsaturated (POPC) and natural origin (soy PC). The destructive effects of ozone were quantified as the ratio of areas per molecule, which corresponded to a 1 mN/m rise in the layer surface pressure for oxidized to non-oxidized lipids (A lift/A lift0 ). The experimental results showed different behaviours among the studied lipids. Layers of DOPC with both unsaturated fatty acyl chains exhibited the greatest disruption compared with that of PC extracted from soy, which maintained stability despite high degree of unsaturation. Mono-unsaturated ozonized layers of POPC did not exhibit any disruption, but their modified properties indicated structural changes caused by the appearance of oxidation products. The stability of mixed layers (of the same unsaturation degree as the soy PC) composed of DOPC and fully saturated lipid increased, however, not reaching the soy PC level. Comparisons of the behaviour of tested systems indicated that the fraction of lipids containing one saturated acyl chain is the parameter most important for stability of the oxidized layer. The stabilizing effects of the cholesterol admixture were also quantified. Results obtained for lipid layers were supported by measurements of liposome size, zeta potential and surface tension of liposome suspension.

Abstract
Artificial lipid bilayers have been extensively studied as models that mimic natural membranes (biomimetic membranes). Several attempts of biomimetic membranes inserting ubiquinone (UQ) have been performed to enlighten which the position of UQ in the lipid layer is, although obtaining contradictory results. In this work, pure components (DPPC and UQ) and DPPC:UQ mixtures have been studied using surface pressure-area isotherms and Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films of the same compounds have been transferred onto solid substrates being topographically characterized on mica using atomic force microscopy and electrochemically on indium tin oxide slides. DPPC:UQ mixtures present less solid-like physical state than pure DPPC indicating a higher-order degree for the latter. UQ influences considerably DPPC during the fluid state, but it is mainly expelled after the phase transition at [Formula: see text] 26 mN·m^-1 for the 5:1 ratio and at [Formula: see text] 21 mN·m^-1 for lower UQ content. The thermodynamic studies confirm the stability of the DPPC:UQ mixtures before that event, although presenting a non-ideal behaviour. The results indicate that UQ position can be tuned by means of the surface pressure applied to obtain LB films and the UQ initial content. The UQ positions in the biomimetic membrane are distinguished by their formal potential: UQ located in "diving" position with the UQ placed in the DPPC matrix in direct contact with the electrode surface ( -0.04±0.02 V), inserted between lipid chains without contact to the substrate ( 0.00±0.01 V) and parallel to the substrate, above the lipid chains ( 0.09±0.02 V).

Abstract
The impact of zearalenone and selenate ions on the monolayers of 1,2-dipalmitoyl-phosphatidylcholine (DPPC), 1,2-dipalmitoyl-3-trimethylammonium-propane (DPTAP), and the lipid mixtures (phospholipids and galactolipids) extracted from wheat plasmalemma has been studied using Langmuir trough technique and Brewster angle microscopy (BAM). The zearalenone is a mycotoxin that exerts toxic effects on the cells of plants and animals. Monolayers’ properties were characterized by surface pressure (π)—molecular area (A) isotherms. It was found that zearalenone interacts with lipid monolayers causing their expansion. The selenate ions, added to the subphase together with zearalenone, reduce the effect of this mycotoxin on the surface properties of lipid films.

Abstract
The relevance of biomimetic membranes using galactolipids has not been expressed in any extensive experimental study of these lipids. Thus, on the one hand, we present an in-depth article about the presence and role of monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG) and digalactosyldiacylglycerol (DGDG) in thylakoid membranes, their physical states and their applications. On the other hand, we use the Langmuir and Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) techniques to prepare biomimetic monolayers of saturated galactolipids MGDG, DGDG and MGDG:DGDG 2:1 mixture (MD)--biological ratio--. These monolayers are studied using surface pressure-area isotherms and their data are processed to enlighten their physical states and mixing behaviour. These monolayers, once transferred to a solid substrate at several surface pressures are topographically studied on mica using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and using cyclic voltammetry for studying the electrochemical behaviour of the monolayers once transferred to indium-tin oxide (ITO), which has good optical and electrical properties. Moreover, MD presents other differences in comparison with its pure components that are explained by the presence of different kinds of galactosyl headgroups that restrict the optimal orientation of the MGDG headgroups.

Abstract
The protective ability of α-tocopherol (TOH) and gallic acid (GA) acting simultaneously at the moment of oxidizer application was evaluated by determination of galactolipid layers’ oxidation degree. Addition of GA resulted in a significant decrease of ozone-derived radicals shifting the threshold of lipid sensitivity by an amount approximately corresponding to the GA intake in bulk reaction with ozone. TOH presence in lipid layers results in a change of the role of GA which additionally may be involved in the reduction of tocopheroxyl radical formed during oxidation. This leads to a decrease in effectiveness of GA in diminishing the amount of ozone radicals. Such an effect was not observed for mixed layers containing galactolipid and pre-oxidized tocopherol where the ozone threshold level was associated with a stoichiometry of GA + O3 reaction. It was concluded that probably subsequent transformations of tocopheroxyl radical to less reactive forms prevent its reaction with GA the entire quantity of which is used for radicals scavenging. This result shows the role of time parameter in systems where substrates are engaged in various reactions taking place simultaneously. The inactivation of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical by studied antioxidants in homogeneous system confirmed observations made on the basis of lipid layer properties indicating their antagonistic action (at least at studied conditions). Formation of layers in post-oxidation situation did not depend whether tocopherol was oxidized during oxidation of lipid/tocopherol mixture or was introduced as pre-oxidized. This may be interpreted as indication that products of tocopherol oxidation may stabilize lipid layers.

Abstract
The photosynthesis is the process used by plants and bacteria cells to convert inorganic matter in organic thanks to the light energy. This process consist on several steps, being one of them the electronic transport from the photosystem II to the cytochrome thanks to plastoquinone-9 (PQ). Here we prepare membranes that mimic the characteristics and composition of natural photosynthetic cell membranes and we characterize them in order to obtain the PQ molecules position in the membrane and their electrochemical behaviour. The selected galactolipid is digalactosyldiacylglycerol (DGDG) that represents the 30% of the thylakoid membrane lipid content. The results obtained are worthful for several science fields due to the relevance of galactolipids as anti-algal, anti-viral, anti-tumor and anti-inflammatory agents and the antioxidant and free radical scavenger properties of prenylquinones. Both pure components (DGDG and PQ) and the DGDG:PQ mixtures have been studied using surface pressure-area isotherms. These isotherms give information about the film stability and indicate the thermodynamic behaviour of the mixture and their physical state. The Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) film has been transferred forming a monolayer that mimics the bottom layer of the biological membranes. This monolayer on mica has been topographically characterized using AFM and both the height and the physical state that they present have been obtained. Moreover, these monolayers have been transferred onto ITO that is a hydrophilic substrate with good optical and electrical features, so that, it is suitable for studying the electrochemical behaviour of these systems and it is a good candidate for energy producing devices.
