Abstract excerpt
In Gram-negative bacteria, cell membrane fluidity is influenced by phospholipid head group composition and linked fatty acids. Exposure of Pseudomonas putida to stressing agents results in short- and long-term modifications in membrane lipids. The main adaptive change observed in response to organic solvents in the short term is the cis- to trans-isomerization of unsaturated fatty acids in a reaction mediated by...
