title: [Relation of the stability of microbial cells in air to their phospholipid composition].
abstract: The phospholipid composition of 8 Escherichia coli strains differing in their capacity for survival in the air with a relative humidity of 30% has been studied. The study has revealed that, irrespective of the phase of growth and the nature of the culture medium, the capacity of E. coli cells for survival in the air is related to their phospholipid composition, this capacity being the higher, the greater the content of total phospholipids and cardiolipin and the lower the concentration of phosphatidyl glycerine.
