Enhancement of chilling tolerance of a cyanobacterium by genetic manipulation of fatty acid desaturation

TL;DR: The cloning of a gene for the plant-type desaturation (termed desA) is reported, which increases the tolerance of the recipient to low temperature by introducing double bonds into fatty acids of membrane lipids.
Journal ArticleDOI

The recovery of photosynthesis from low-temperature photoinhibition is accelerated by the unsaturation of membrane lipids: a mechanism of chilling tolerance.

TL;DR: It appears that the unsaturation of the membrane lipids does not affect the inactivation process but accelerates the recovery process and that the apparent increase in the photoinhibition in vivo of photosynthesis at low temperature is caused by a depressed rate of recovery atLow temperature.
