Abstract excerpt
The lipid composition of D. radiodurans strain R1 and of two mutant strains has been studied in relation to membrane fluidity and sensitivity to X-ray radiation. No significant difference in the unsaturation degree of fatty acids was found between parental and mutant strains. An important decreas...
