Cardiolipin increases in chromatophores isolated from Rhodobacter sphaeroides after osmotic stress: structural and functional roles

Chromatophores isolated from cells of Rhodobacter sphaeroides exposed to hypertonic solutions were enriched in cardiolipin (CL). Because CL levels are raised by increasing the incubation time of R. sphaeroides in hypertonic solutions, it was possible to isolate chromatophores containing different CL...
