Abstract excerpt
Fatty acid composition of the membrane lipids in the mesophilic cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 was altered in earlier work by targeted mutagenesis of genes for fatty acid desaturases. In this work, cells of several mutant strains, depleted in the unsaturated fatty acids in membrane lipids, were grown at 34 degrees C. Spheroplasts (permeabilized cells) were prepared by lysozyme digestion of the cell...
