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
