## Abstract The physical state of the membrane lipids, as determined by fatty acid composition and environmental temperature, has a marked effect both on the temperature range within which A. laidlawii can grow and on the temperature coefficient of growth within the permissible temperature range. T
2-~H2]Oleic, [2-2H~]palmitic, [2-2H~]dihydrosterculic and [3-2H2]oleic acids were biosynthetically incorporated into the membrane lipids of Acholeplasma laidlawii B. 2H-NMR spectroscopy and spectral 'de-Paking' (M. Bloom, J.H. Davis and M.I. Valic, Can. J. Phys., 58 (1980) 1510) were used to study t
