Abstract excerpt
Using 2H- and 31P-NMR techniques the effects of temperature variation and phenethyl alcohol addition were investigated on lipid acyl chain order and on the macroscopic lipid organization of membrane systems derived from cells of the Escherichia coli fatty acid auxotrophic strain K1059, which was grown in the presence of [11,11-2H2]oleic acid. Membranes of intact cells showed a gel to liquid-crystalline phase...
