Formation of Langmuir monolayers from native phospholipids of bacteria of various systematic groups

Phospholipids are the most important structural elements of the bacterial cell wall, participate in the adaptation of microorganisms to the environment and can act as biomarkers for environmental changes and one of the components of environmental monitoring. Native phospholipids are used to form models of cell membranes, the biophysical properties of which can be studied by the Langmuir-Blodgett method.

The Influence of the Composition of Subphase and External Conditions on the Formation and Properties of Langmuir Monolayer

The specifity of the formation of arachinic acid monolayers (used as models of cell membranes) by the Langmuir method on a subphase containing L-ascorbic and D-isoascorbic acids with a concentration of 10-2, 10-3 M at a temperature of 25, 37 and 41°C was studied. The influence of the isoforms of ascorbic acid, the composition and temperature of the subphase on the mechanical properties of monolayers (specific area, compressibility, collapse pressure) was experimentally found.
