This book provides a comprehensive overview of lipid formation, assembly, and their role in generating biological membranes.
Key topics include:
Lipid and Membrane Formation: Detailed chapters on the biosynthesis pathways of various microbial lipid classes, offering a unique compendium of lipid biology.
Functional Aspects: Exploration of the roles of lipids, lipid residues, and membranes in microbes, including their function and remodeling.
Microbial Lipid Classes: Coverage of lipid and membrane formation in Archaea, Bacteria, and eukaryotic microbes.
Lipid-Carrying Biomolecules: Significant chapters on microbial lipid-carrying biomolecules and lipid/membrane-associated structures and processes.
The book also covers topics such as:
AcetylCoA Synthesis and Regulation
Bacterial Sphingolipids
Membrane Homeostasis
Lipid Metabolism in Microalgae and Yeast
Lipid-Protein Interactions
Evolution of Lipids and Membranes
Written in an informative style the book is accessible and engaging for both newcomers and experts.
