Osmotic shock stimulates de novo synthesis of two cardiolipins in an extreme halophilic archaeon

The present report illustrates the response to osmotic stress of an extreme halophilic archaeon, Halorubrum sp., isolated from the saltern ponds of Margherita di Savoia in southern Italy. The hypotonic stress induces relevant changes in the membrane lipid composition: archaeal cardiolipin content ma...
