Use of an unsaturated fatty acid auxotroph of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to modify the lipid composition and function of mitochondrial membranes.
KD115 (ol1), an unsaturated fatty acid auxotroph of S. cerevisiae, was grown in a semi-synthetic medium supplemented with 3.3 x 10(-4) M palmitoleic (cis 16:1) or palmitelaidic (trans 16:1) acids. The parent strain S288C was studied as a control. The lipid composition (fatty acids, neutral lipids, a...
