Composition and Thermal Properties of Membrane Lipids in Cryptoendolithic Lichen Microbiota from Antarctica

In Antarctica there exists a cryptoendolithic microbiota which survives extremely low temperatures. Fatty acid analysis of the membrane phospholipids of this microbial community showed a predominance of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Artificial membranes made from the purified community phospholipids...
