Membrane lipid phase transition behavior of oocytes from three gorgonian corals in relation to chilling injury.

Membrane lipid phase transition behavior of oocytes from three gorgonian corals in relation to chilling injury.

The lipid phase transition (LPT) from the fluid liquid crystalline phase to the more rigid gel structure phase that occurs upon exposure to low temperatures can affect physical structure and function of cellular membranes. This study set out to investigate the membrane phase behavior of oocytes of t...
