Abstract
Unicellular organisms possess a wide variety of molecular mechanisms for altering the lipid composition (and thereby the physical properties) of their membranes in response to changes in environmental temperature. These are discussed with a view to establish which of the mechanisms are of more importance to bacteria, algae, and protozoa in coping with extremes of temperature.Entities:
