Homeoviscous Adaptation of the <named-content content-type="genus-species">Acinetobacter baumannii</named-content> Outer Membrane: Alteration of Lipooligosaccharide Structure during Cold Stress

ABSTRACT To maintain optimal membrane dynamics, cells from all domains of life must acclimate to various environmental signals in a process referred to as homeoviscous adaptation. Alteration of the lipid composition is critical for maintaining membrane fluidity, permeability of the lipid bilayer, an...
