Fatty acids of mitochondrial membranes from Tetrahymena pyriformis

Fatty acids of mitochondrial membranes from Tetrahymena pyriformis

We have examined the fatty acid composition of the mitochondrial membranes in three strains of Tetrahymena pyriformis. All three had similar components and exhibited large amounts of unsaturated fatty acids. The cytoplasmic mutant, CA-10, which has a slower growth rate and unusual membrane morpholog...
