Unsaturated Fatty Acids in Membrane Lipids Protect the Photosynthetic Machinery against Salt-Induced Damage in Synechococcus

In this study, the tolerance to salt stress of the photosynthetic machinery was examined in relation to the effects of the genetic enhancement of the unsaturation of fatty acids in membrane lipids in wild-type and desA(+) cells of Synechococcus sp. PCC 7942. Wild-type cells synthesized saturated and...
