The absence of a cell wall in mycoplasmas is a characteristic of outstanding importance to which the mycoplasmas owe many of their pecu liarities, for example, their morphological instability, osmotic sensitivity, unique ion pumping systems, resistance to antibiotics that interfere with cell wall bio synthesis, and susceptibility to lysis by detergents and alcohols. The fact that the mycoplasma cells contain only one membrane type, the plasma membrane, constitutes one of their most useful properties for membrane studies; once the membrane is isolated, it is uncontaminated with other mem brane types. Another advantage in using mycoplasmas as models for membrane studies stems from the fact that their membrane lipid composition can be altered in a controlled manner. This characteristic results from the partial or total inabili ty of the mycoplasmas to synthesize long-chain fatty acids and cholesterol, making mycoplasmas dependent on | 出版日期 | Book 1993 | 关键词 | Lipid; cell; cell membrane; membrane; plasma membrane; regulation | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4615-2924-8 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4613-6269-2 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4615-2924-8Series ISSN 0306-0225 Series E-ISSN 2542-8810 | issn_series | 0306-0225 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media New York 1993 |
