Effect of butanol on lipid composition and fluidity of Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824

K Vollherbst-Schneck et al. Appl Environ Microbiol. 1984 Jan.

Abstract

Butanol, at sub-growth-inhibitory levels, caused a ca. 20 to 30% increase in fluidity of lipid dispersions from Clostridium acetobutylicum. When grown in the presence of butanol or into stationary phase, C. acetobutylicum synthesized increased levels of saturated acyl chains at the expense of unsaturated chains.
