  • Published:
Experientia Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Total phospholipids and their constituent fatty acids exhibited significant alterations in presence of glucose or glycerol whenM. gypseum was grown at 20 and 27°C. Cells grown on a glucose medium showed a higher degree of unsaturation as compared to cells grown on a glycerol containing medium.
