Cholesterol incorporation into bacterial membranes

Cholesterol incorporation into bacterial membranes

S Razin. J Bacteriol. 1975 Oct.

Abstract

The wall-covered bacteria Micrococcus lysodeikticus, Bacillus megaterium, and Proteus mirabilis incorporated exogenous cholesterol into their cytoplasmic membrane in quantities resembling those incorporated by sterol-nonrequiring mycoplasmas. Cholesterol incorporation into the outer membrane of P. mirabilis was much more restricted than into the cytoplasmic membrane.
