Thermal regulation of membrane lipid fluidity in bacteria

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Bacteria regulate the fluidity of their membrane phospholipids in response to temperature. In Escherichia coli this regulation is an intrinsic property of a soluble enzyme, β-ketoacyl-acyl carrier protein synthase II, of the fatty acid biosynthetic pathway.
