Effect of growth temperature on the long-chain diols and fatty acids of Thermomicrobium roseum

J L Pond et al. J Bacteriol. 1987 Mar.

Abstract

Long-chain 1,2-diols constitute the hydrophobic backbone of membrane lipids (replacing glycerolipids) in the thermophilic eubacterium Thermomicrobium roseum. The effects of incubation temperature on chain length and chain branching of diols and fatty acids were investigated. The percentage of branched chains decreased, and chain length increased slightly, with increased growth temperatures.
