Abstract excerpt
Temperature-dependent changes in genomic DNA supercoiling might play an important role in temperature perception and responsive gene regulation. In the cyanobacterium Synechocystis, low temperatures induce the expression of the genes for fatty acid desaturases that introduce double bonds into acyl chains of lipid-bound fatty acids, thus regulating the membrane fluidity. I studied the effects of low temperature on...
