Isolation and Properties of a Linoleic Acid-resistant Mutant of Free

Abstract

A linoleic acid-resistant mutant (Lar-2) of NCTC 8325 has been isolated and partially characterized. The resistance of the mutant may be due to an increased capacity of the bacterial membrane to incorporate linoleic acid.
