[Accumulation of cholesterol in Acholeplasma laidlawii membranes in the steady-state phase of culture growth].
In early logarithmic phase of growth of the A. laidlawii cells the lipid composition of plasma membrane is changed: the total lipid, glycolipid and phospholipid contents are decreased, while that of cholesterol changes only insignificantly. In late logarithmic and steady state phases the cholesterol level in the membrane is increased in parallel with the decrease of the phospholipid content. Throughout the growth period a quantitative redistribution of membrane phospholipids in fatty acids and an increase of the molar content of saturated fatty acids are observed. Accumulation of cholesterol in the steady state phase is accompanied by an increase in the membrane viscosity which results in inhibition of membrane processes in the cell.
