[Effect of changes in the lipid composition on the plasma membrane of Saccharomyces cerevisiae through mutation of the phase transition and mixing behavior of the lipid fraction].

Abstract excerpt

Mutation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae leads to an alteration of the size and surface structure of the mutant cell. These phenomena are correlated with change in the lipid composition and hence membrane fluidity of the plasma membranes. Such alterations are in the fatty acyl constituents of phospholipids and glycolipids and include changes in the saturation or length of fatty acyl chains. Simultaneously, the...
