From: pH-induced change in cell susceptibility to butanol in a high butanol-tolerant bacterium, Enterococcus faecalis strain CM4A

Figure 3

Schematic representation of membrane fluidity adjustment in E. faecalis strain CM4A. The opposite mechanisms involved in membrane fluidity adjustment behind butanol and alkali tolerance. The strain alters the proportion of membrane fatty acid components (that is cyclization, saturation, or shift to short chain) in response to butanol exposure or alkaline pH.
