INTERRELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN FATTY ACID COMPOSITION, STAPHYLOXANTHIN CONTENT, FLUIDITY, AND CARBON FLOW IN THE STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS MEMBRANE

Interrelationships between Fatty Acid Composition, Staphyloxanthin Content, Fluidity, and Carbon Flow in the Staphylococcus aureus Membrane

Fatty acids play a major role in determining membrane biophysical properties.Staphylococcus aureus produces branched-chain fatty acids (BCFAs) and straight-chain saturated fatty acids (SCSFAs), and can directly incorporate exogenous SCSFAs and straight-chain unsaturated fatty acids (SCUFAs).Many S.aureus strains produce the triterpenoid pigment sta
