| Method |
Kinetics of Fatty Acid Transport-The kinetics of long and
medium chain fatty acid transport were studied in strains
LS7051 and LS7050 to further characterize the role of the
fadL gene product in fatty acid transport. Both strains are
constitutive for the synthesis of the fad enzymes (fadR). |
| Comments |
Uptake of long chain fatty
acids (C11-C18:1) mediated by the fadL gene involves
concentrative transport. Physical Parameters of Long and Medium Chain Fatty
Acid Transport-The temperature, pH, and detergent dependence
of long and medium chain fatty acid transport was
studied. Both long and medium chain fatty acids showed
maximal rates of uptake at 42°C (data not shown). A Q10 of
2.3 was calculated for C18:1 transport while C1O transport
showed a Q10 of 1.27 |
