Abstract
BACKGROUND Tick-borne encephalitis poses a serious public health threat in the endemic regions. The disease treatment is restricted to symptomatic therapy, so great expectations are in the development of the prophylactic and therapeutic vaccines. The domain III of E protein of the tickborne encephalitis virus is the main antigenic domain which includes virus-specific epitopes recognized by neutralizing antibodies. OBJECTIVES The main objective of this study was to design, express, isolate and characterize the chimeric protein based on the fusion of domain III of E protein of the tick-borne encephalitis virus and bacterial porin OmpF from Yersinia pseudotuberculosis. METHODS The chimeric gene was obtained by the PCR based fusion method from two fragments containing overlapping linker sequences. Resulting plasmids were transformed into BL21(DE3) pLysS electrocompetent cells for subsequent heterologous protein expression. All recombinant proteins were purified using immobilized metal affinity chromatography under denaturing conditions. The identity of the chimeric protein was confirmed by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry and immunoblot analysis. The content of antibodies against the EIII protein was estimated in mice blood serum by ELISA. RESULTS The bacterial partner protein was used for decreasing toxicity and increasing immunogenicity of antigen. The chimeric protein was successfully expressed by the Escherichia coli cells. The purified protein was recognized with immunoblots by anti-E protein of tick-borne encephalitis virus monoclonal antibodies. Furthermore, the protein was able to elicit antibody response against domain III of E protein in immunized mice. CONCLUSION The newly obtained chimeric antigen could be valuable for the development of the preventing tick-borne encephalitis subunit vaccines.

Abstract
Lysophosphatidyletnolamine (LPE) is one of enigmatic lipids of bacteria. It is generated from major membrane lipid - phosphatidylethanolamine at severe changes of the bacterial growth conditions. Accumulation of this phospholipid in cells of Gram-negative enterobacterium Yersinia pseudotuberculosis results in the enhanced thermostability of OmpF-like porin (YOmpF) from the same bacteria. The respective integral conformational rearrangements may disturb the channel permeability of protein under stress conditions. However, role of fatty acid composition of LPE in this effect remained unclear. Present work demonstrated that the level of unsaturated LPE is 3.5 times higher than saturated one in total LPE of bacterial cells exposed to stress (phenol treatment). Unsaturated 1-oleoyl-2-hydroxy-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (MOPE) and saturated LPE 1-palmitoyl-2- hydroxy-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (MPPE) oppositely affect the conformation of YOmpF. MOPE increases the protein thermal stability due to more dense packing of monomers in porin and preserves its trimeric form at elevated temperature, while MPPE weakens the contact between monomers and promotes dissociation of the protein.

Abstract
The ability of some triterpene glycosides of holothurians: holotoxin A1 from Apostichopus japonicus and a mixture of monosulphated triterpene glycosides from Cucumaria japonica called cucumarioside (CD) to form supramolecular complexes with cholesterol (Chol) and monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG) or phosphatidylcholine (PC) was studied. A transmission electron microscopy method was used to observe supramolecular lipid-saponin complexes formed by holotoxin A1 and CD with cholesterol in the presence of membrane lipids. The observed supramolecular complexes are tubular nanoparticles with a length of 100-300 nm, an external diameter of 10-16 nm and an internal diameter of 2-6 nm. The formation of tubular nanoparticles was more effective in the presence of MGDG than with PC. Nanoparticles forming in the presence of MGDG are shaped as a tubule, have a constant diameter and a strongly pronounced internal channel. In contrast, PC has no such properties; this lipid is unable to fully integrate in tubular nanoparticles. Based on electron-microscopy data the range of weight ratio of MGDG-Chol-CD was determined as a 1-10:2:3 that provided most effective formation of tubular nanoparticles. Different methods of incorporation of model antigens in complex MGDG-Chol-CD were studied. Influenza haemagglutinin and neuraminidase from commercial vaccine "Influvac" and pore forming protein YompF from Yersinia pseudotuberculosis were used as model antigens. From 54 to 72% of protein of "Influvac" vaccine and 88-92% of YompF were incorporated in supramolecular complexes depending on the method of incorporation. The loss of functional activity of haemagglutinin of vaccine "Influvac" was the result of applying ultrasonic disintegration for incorporation of this protein in complex MGDG-Chol-CD. YompF incorporation in MGDG-Chol-CD complex led to the increased diameter of tubular particles, in the same time incorporation of vaccine "Influvac" antigens produced the "cap" formation at the end of tubules. The possibility of a described supramolecular complex MGDG-Chol-CD to be a carrier for subunit bacterial and viral antigens is shown.

Abstract
The tubular immunostimulating complex (TI-complex) is a novel nanoparticulate antigen delivery system consisting of cholesterol, triterpene glycoside cucumarioside A(2)-2, and glycolipid monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG) isolated from marine macrophytes. MGDG is crucial for the formation of a lipid matrix for the protein antigen incorporated in TI-complexes. Fatty acid composition and the physical state of this glycolipid depend on the taxonomic position of marine macrophytes. Therefore, the aim of the present work was to study the capacity of MGDGs, isolated from five species of marine macrophytes, to influence conformation and to enhance immunogenicity of porin from Yersinia pseudotuberculosis (YOmpF) as a model antigen of subunit vaccine based on TI-complexes. The trimeric porin was chosen for these experiments, because it was approximately two times more immunogenic than monomeric porin incorporated in TI-complexes. Immunization of mice with YOmpF within TI-complexes, comprised of different MGDGs, revealed a dependence of the immunostimulating effect of TI-complexes on the microvicosity of this glycolipid. TI-complexes comprising MGDGs from Sargassum pallidum and Ulva fenestrata with medium microviscosity induced maximal levels of anti-porin antibodies (four times higher when compared with those induced by pure porin). The adjuvant effect of TI-complexes based on other MGDGs varied by 2.8, 2.3 and 1.3 times for TI-complexes comprised of MGDGs from Zostera marina, Ahnfeltia tobuchiensis, and Laminaria japonica, respectively. MGDGs are also able to influence cytokine mechanisms of immunological regulation. DSC and spectroscopic studies showed that maximal immunostimulating effect of TI-complexes correlated with a moderate stabilizing influence of MGDGs from S. pallidum and U. fenestrata on the conformation of porin. The results obtained suggest lipid "nanofluidics" as a novel strategy for optimizing the immune response to protein antigens within lipid particulate systems.

Abstract
The self-assembly of marine macrophyte glycolipids, holothurian saponin, and cholesterol gave rise to nanoscale morphological structures called tubular immunostimulating (TI) complexes. Whether the latter could be used on the basis of vaccine preparations containing the influenza virus subunit antigens was studied. There was an obvious increase in the immunogenicity of influenza virus hemagglutinin when the experimental animals were immunized with this antigen as part of TI complexes. It was shown that the adjuvant activity of the TI complex to influenza virus hemagglutinin could be enhanced by adding the known antioxidant echinochrome A from a sand-dollar (Echinarachnius parma) to the matrix of the TI complex.

Abstract
AIM Study of bactericidal effect of phenol on Yersinia pseudotuberculosis produced in various nutrient media. MATERIALS AND METHODS Bacteria were produced in nutrient broth (NB) and NB with glucose (NB+Glu) or galactose (NB+Gal) at 8 degrees C. Effect of phenol on bacteria was evaluated by changes in optical density of suspension and quantity of viable cells, and by staining of cells with ethidium bromide. Lipids were analyzed by thin-layer and gas-liquid chromatography, gas-liquid- chromatography--mass-spectrometry, differential scanning calorimetry; lipopolysaccharides (LPS)--by electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gel in the presence of sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS-PAGE). RESULTS Survival rate of bacteria is dependent on phenol concentration, biocide treatment time and parameters of cell cultivation. Addition of glucose or galactose into the nutrient medium increases the resistance of Yersinia against phenol. Bacterial cultures are heterogeneous in the resistance against phenol independently of the production parameters. Phenol causes damage in outer bacterial membrane, as evidenced by accumulation of lysophosphatidylethanolamine in the cell, the main product of enzyme activity of membrane-bound phospholipase A, and release into the cultural medium of part of LPS. Treatment by phenol in bactericidal concentration is accompanied by changes in phospholipidic and fatty acid composition of bacterial cell envelope. CONCLUSION New data are obtained on environmental factors that contribute to the increase of resistance of bacteria against phenolic biocides.

Abstract
Background There is an urgent need to develop safe and effective adjuvants for the new generation of subunit vaccines. We developed the tubular immunostimulating complex (TI-complex) as a new nanoparticulate antigen delivery system. The morphology and composition of TI-complexes principally differ from the known vesicular immunostimulating complexes (ISCOMs). However, methodology for the preparation of TI-complexes has suffered a number of shortcomings. The aim of the present work was to obtain an antigen carrier consisting of triterpene glycosides from Cucumaria japonica, cholesterol, and monogalactosyldiacylglycerol from marine macrophytes with reproducible properties and high adjuvant activity. Results The cucumarioside A2-2 - cholesterol - MGalDG ratio of 6:2:4 (by weight) was found to provide the most effective formation of TI-complexes and the minimum hemolytic activity in vitro. Tubules of TI-complexes have an outer diameter of about 16 nm, an inner diameter of 6 nm, and a length of 500 nm. A significant dilution by the buffer gradually destroyed the tubular nanoparticles. The TI-complex was able to increase the immunogenicity of the protein antigens from Yersinia pseudotuberculosis by three to four times. Conclusions We propose an optimized methodology for the preparation of homogeneous TI-complexes containing only tubular particles, which would achieve reproducible immunization results. We suggest that the elaborated TI-complexes apply as a universal delivery system for different subunit antigens within anti-infectious vaccines and enhance their economic efficacy and safety.

Abstract
AIM Evaluation of immunogenic and protective properties of constructs based on subunit porin antigen from Yersinia pseudotuberculosis, immunostimulating complexes (ISCOM) and tubular immunostimulating (TI) complexes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Porin antibodies and blood serum cytokines were determined by using EIA. Porin-specific cell immunity was evaluated by DTH reaction inflammation index. Protective activity of porin formulations was determined by measuring specific gravity of animals surviving Yersinia pseudotuberculosis lethal challenge. RESULTS Porin in TI complexes develops higher immunogenicity when compared with individual protein or protein with complete Freunds adjuvant. Porin in TI complexes develops higher protective activity, inhibits interferon synthesis in mice. Incorporation of porin into TI complexes results in neutralization of porin suppressive activity against DTH mechanisms and interferon system. CONCLUSION TI complexes may be used as perspective carriers for bacterial antigens. TI complexes have adjuvant properties and can provide protective properties to porin vaccine constructs.

Abstract
A novel antigen carrier has been formulated on the basis of a cucumarioside-A2-2 triterpene glycoside (CD) complex with cholesterol and monogalactosyldiacylglycerol from Ahnfeltia tobuchiensis (MGDG(At)) and Ulva fenestrate (MGDG(Uf)). Morphological and immunostimulative characteristics of the carrier were studied. Electron microscopy experiments demonstrated the formation of homogeneous tubular structures in a mixture of CD, cholesterol, and MGDG in molar ratio of 1:2:3. In animals immunized by the carrier bearing pore forming protein monomer of pseudotuberculosis agent CD and MGDG synergically affected synthesis of specific antibodies, interleukin-2, and gamma-interferon and delayed hypersensitivity reaction when compared to Freund's complete adjuvant or to immunostimulatory complexes between Quillaja saponaria saponins and phosphatidylcholine from egg yolk. The immunostimulatory effect depends upon the composition of polyunsaturated fatty acids of MGDG. The new tubular adjuvant carrier is a competitive adjuvant, as it includes CD obtained from far-eastern sea cucumber commercial species Cucumaria japonica, and MGDG from seaweed.

Abstract
Major glyco- and phospholipids as well as betaine lipid 1,2-diacylglycero-O-4'-(N,N,N-tri-methyl)-homoserine (DGTS) were isolated from five species of marine macrophytes harvested in the Sea of Japan in summer and winter at seawater temperatures of 20-23 and 3 degrees C, respectively. GC and DSC analysis of lipids revealed a common increase of ratio between n-3 and n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) of polar lipids from summer to winter despite their chemotaxonomically different fatty acid (FA) composition. Especially, high level of different n-3 PUFAs was observed in galactolipids in winter. However, the rise in FA unsaturation did not result in the lowering of peak maximum temperature of phase transition of photosynthetic lipids (glycolipids and phosphatidylglycerol (PG)) in contrast to non-photosynthetic ones [phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE)]. Different thermotropic behavior of these lipid groups was accompanied by higher content of n-6 PUFAs from the sum of n-6 and n-3 PUFAs in PC and PE compared with glycolipids and PG in both seasons. Seasonal changes of DSC transitions and FA composition of DGTS studied for the first time were similar to PC and PE. Thermograms of all polar lipids were characterized by complex profiles and located in a wide temperature range between -130 and 80 degrees C, while the most evident phase separation occurred in PGs in both seasons. Polarizing microscopy combined with DSC has shown that the liquid crystal - isotropic melt transitions of polar lipids from marine macrophytes began from 10 to 30 degrees C mostly, which can cause the thermal sensitivity of plants to superoptimal temperatures in their environment.

The peculiarities of the interaction between cell membrane lipids and triterpene glycosides from holothurians Apostichopus japonicus S. and Cucumaria japonica (holotoxin A1 and cucumarioside A2-2, respectively) were studied in comparison with plant saponins from Quillaja saponaria, known as hemolytic, adjuvant, and structure-forming components of immunostimulating complexes. Similar to Quillaja saponins, the sea glycosides, holotoxin A1 and cucumarioside A2-2 were shown to possess a high hemolytic activity (2.6 and 3 microg/ml, respectively) and sterol-depending membranotropic effect mediated by the formation of nonbilayer sterol-lipid-glycoside complexes. At the same time, cucumarioside A2-2 bound exogenic cholesterol only in the presence of membrane lipids, such as phosphatidylcholine or monogalactosyldiacylglycerol, in contrast to Quillaja saponins and holotoxin A1, which bound cholesterol in the molar ratios 1:2 and 1:8, respectively. Moreover, in all cases, tree-component complexes containing cholesterol, lipid, and glycoside exhibited a lower hemolytic activity compared with two-component sterol-glycoside complexes. It was concluded that the hydrophobic medium of cell membranes performs a potentiative role in the effective interaction between triterpene glycosides and "sterol receptors". A method for decreasing the toxicity of membranotropic holothurian glycosides possessing the immunomodulating properties was suggested.

Abstract
Results of experiments on modification of immunostimulating complexes (ISCOM's) matrix by the replacement of the phospholipid for the glycolipid (monogalactosyldiacylglycerol) from sea macrophytes, and saponin QuillA to triterpene glycoside of cucumarioside A2-2 from Cucumaria japonica are shown. The resultant complexes include the morphological structures of two types: ISCOM-like structures with the characteristic morphology and sizes and also the tubular structures with diameter of approximately 40 nm and length of 150-400 nm. We have named these structures as TI-complexes. These TI-complexes exhibit considerably lower toxicity than ISCOM. They may include an amphiphilic protein antigen and provide immunoadjuvant effect during experimental vaccination. Under conditions of experimental immunization of mice by a weak immunogen--(subunit membrane pore protein from Y. pseudotuberculosis), TI-complexes with antigen provided stronger humoral immune response to antigen than the complexes of porin with classical ISCOM, liposomes and Freund's adjuvant. Thus, it's shown the prospect of the use of TI-complexes as a new type of adjuvant carriers for antigens.

Abstract
The content of lysophosphatidylethanolamine (LPE) in Y. pseudotuberculosis cells was found to increase during their growth at 8 degrees C under stationary conditions (without stirring the medium) and at 37 degrees C when the medium contained glucose. The maximum level of LPE (up to 45% of the total phospholipids) was observed in cells grown at 8 degrees C under stationary conditions. Such cells showed an enhanced growth rate, a reduced yield of biomass, an altered cell morphology, and an increased cell area. The cells contained unsaturated fatty acids, phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), and total phospholipids in small amounts, whereas neutral lipids and diphosphatidylglycerol were abundant. In addition, the cells contained an amount of methylated PE and phospholipids of unknown structure. Irrespective of whether the temperature for growth was low or high, the LPE-rich cells showed a high value (32-36 degrees C) of the maximum temperature of thermal transition of lipids (Tmax). This finding is indicative of a densification of the membrane lipid matrix of the LPE-rich cells. The suggestion is made that LPE is accumulated in glucose-fermenting bacterial cells in response to stress caused by oxygen deficiency and low pH values of the growth medium. The possible relationship between LPE accumulation and the virulence of Y. pseudotuberculosis cells grown at low temperatures is discussed.

Abstract
The impact of the availability of glucose in nutrition medium and growth temperature on the composition and thermotropic behavior of lipids from Yersinia pseudotuberculosis (Enterobacteriaceae) was studied. Y. pseudotuberculosis was grown in nutrition broth (NB) with/without glucose at 8 and 37 degrees C, corresponding to the temperatures of saprophytic and parasitic phases of this bacterium life. The decrease of phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and unsaturated fatty acids and the parallel increase of lysophosphatidylethanolamine and diphosphatidylglycerol and saturated and cyclopropane acids were the most significant changes with temperature in bacterial phospholipid (PL) classes and fatty acids, respectively. Glucose did not effect the direction of temperature-induced changes in the contents of PLs, fatty acids, however it enhanced (for PLs) or diminished (for fatty acids) intensity of these changes. The thermally induced transitions of lipids were studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). It was revealed that the addition of glucose to NB induced a sharp shift of DSC thermograms to lower temperatures in the "warm" variants of bacteria. The peak maximum temperature (Tmax) of thermal transitions dropped from 50 to 26 degrees C that is the optimal growth temperature of Y. pseudotuberculosis. Tmax of total lipids of the cells grown at 8 degrees C without glucose in NB was equal to growth temperature that corresponded to the classical mechanism of homeoviscous adaptation of bacteria. An addition of glucose to NB at this growth temperature caused the subsequent reduction of Tmax to -8 degrees C, while the temperature ranges of thermograms were not substantially changed. So, not only the temperature growth of bacteria, but also the presence of glucose in NB can modify the physical state of lipids from Y. pseudotuberculosis. In this case, both factors affect additively. It is suggested that glucose influences some membrane-associated proteins and then the fluidity of lipid matrix through temperature-inducible genes.

Abstract
Certain physicochemical properties of glycoglycerolipids from marine alga Laminaria japonica (monogalactosyl diacylglycerol, digalactosyl diacylglycerol, and sulfoquinovosyl diacylglycerol) and their ability to be incorporated into immunostimulating complexes (ISCOMs) used for presentation of microbial and tumor antigens in vesicular form were comparatively described. These glycolipids proved to considerably differ by fatty acid composition, degree of unsaturation, and phase transition temperature. Possible production of modified ISCOMs through incorporation of these glycolipids into the vesicle instead of the glycolipid component was demonstrated. Preliminary data demonstrated no significant increase in immune response to Yersinia pseudotuberculosis porin within the modified (with monogalactosyl diacylglycerol) and classical (with phosphatidylcholine) ISCOMs as compared to individual porin.

Abstract
Some physicochemical properties of glycoglycerolipids (monogalactosyldiacylglycerol, digalactosyldiacylglycerol and sulfoquinovosyldiacylglycerol) from the sea algae Laminaria japonica, as well as their ability to become incorporate into immunostimulating complexes (ISCOMs), used as a delivery system of microbial and tumor antigens in vesicular form, were studied. These glycolipids were found to differ essentially in fatty acid composition, unsaturation index and thermotropic behavior. The possibility of ISCOM modification by embedding the glycolipids studied instead of a phospholipid component in vesicles was shown. A preliminary research of the immunogenicity of the pore-forming protein from Yersinia pseudotuberculosis in modified (by monogalactosyldiacylglycerol) and typical (egg phosphatidylcholine) ISCOMs did not reveal a significant enhancement of immune response in comparison with that of isolated protein.

Abstract
Major glycolipids [monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG), digalactosyldiacylglycerol (DGDG), sulfoquinovosyldiacylglycerol (SQDG)) and phospholipids (phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and phosphatidylglycerol (PG)] as well as betaine lipid 1,2-diacylglycero-O-4'-(N,N,N-tri-methyl)-homoserine (DGTS) were isolated from Anfeltia tobuchiensis (Rhodophyta), Laminaria japonica, Sargassum pallidum (Phaeophyta), Ulva fenestrata (Chlorophyta) and Zostera marina (Embriophyta), harvested in the Sea of Japan. GC analysis of their fatty acid (FA) composition revealed that the n-6 polyunsaturated FAs (PUFAs) shared the most part of the sum of n-6 and n-3 PUFAs in PC and PE compared with glycolipids and PG. In algae, it was related to the prevalence of 20:4n-6 over 20:5n-3 in non-photosynthetic lipids. Percentage of n-6 PUFAs as well as the sum of n-3 and n-6 PUFAs decreased in the following sequence: PC-->PE-->PG. The saturation increased in the lines of MGDG-->DGDG-->SQDG and PC-->PE-->PG. PG was close to SQDG by the level of saturation. Distribution of C(18) and C(20) PUFAs in polar lipids depended on taxonomic position of macrophytes. Balance between C(18) and C(20) PUFAs was preferably shifted to the side of C(20) PUFAs in PC and PE that was observed in contrast to glycolipids and PG from L. japonica containing both series of FAs. The set of major FAs of polar lipid classes can essentially differ from each other and from total lipids of macrophytes. For example, MGDG was found to accumulate characteristic fatty acids 16:4n-3, 16:3n-3, 18:3n-6 and 18:4n-3, 20:3n-6 in U. fenestrata, Z. marina, L. japonica and S. pallidum, respectively.

Abstract
The crystal-liquid crystal-isotropic melt phase transitions of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) from muscle tissue of five species (actinia Metridium senile fimbriatum, mussel Crenomytilus grayanus, sea-urchin Strongylocentrotus intermedius, starfish Distolasterias nipon and the ascidian Halocynthia aurantium) of marine invertebrates, collected in winter at 0 degrees C and then acclimated to 18.5 degrees C for 5 days, were studied by differential scanning calorimetry and polarising microscopy. To elevate temperature from 0 to 18.5 degrees C, we used the rate of 4.5 degrees C/h. Although phase transitions of both phospholipids from animals collected in summer occurred already at temperatures below -1.7 oC (minimal temperature of seawater in winter), compensatory mechanisms resulted in a decrease by 29-43 oC in the phase transition temperature of PE in winter. Thermotropic behavior of PCs changed in various trends. However, the total heat of their phase transitions always decreased in winter compared with summer. For all species, except the mussel, the time of warm-acclimation was insufficient to adjust the thermotropic behavior of either phospholipid. Nevertheless, the unsaturation index decreased to achieve summer values, due primarily to decreased proportions of eicosapentaenate and docosahexaenate. The accumulation of arachidonate, during warm-acclimation, might be connected to the signalling properties of n-6 eicosanoids. Absence of effective homeoviscous mechanisms suggests that most of the studied marine invertebrates have very limited capacity to survive an acute temperature elevation, e.g. at the appearance of thermal currents.

Abstract
Differential scanning calorimetry and polarising microscopy were used to investigate the crystal-liquid crystal-isotropic melt phase transitions of phosphatidylcholine (PC), and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), isolated from muscles, gill pouches, gonads and digestive glands of Halocynthia aurantium, collected in summer and winter. We also analyzed the fatty chain composition of these phospholipids. In summer, the crystalline to liquid crystalline phase transitions of PC and PE from different organs were more co-operative than in winter. Their peak maximum temperatures were close and temperature ranges overlapped for summer samples. Peak maximum temperatures of winter samples decreased sharply, by 18-27 degrees C for PC and by 10-44 degrees C for PE, respectively, depending on the organ. Total heat changes of transitions also decreased. Thermograms were completely located at temperatures below -1.7 degrees C (minimal temperature of seawater in winter). In contrast to summer samples, peak maximum temperatures for PC and PE in winter differed significantly, (by 14-30 degrees C depending on organ), while the temperature ranges of their transitions still showed considerable overlap. Simultaneously, the temperature ranges of the liquid crystalline to isotropic phase transitions decreased. The main reason for changes in thermotropic behavior of phospholipids seems to be the decrease of saturated/unsaturated ratios. The existence of stable and thermoadaptative labile phospholipid pools in the membrane structure is proposed. The relationship of these transitions to low- and high-temperature adaptation is discussed.

Abstract
Microcalorimetry was used to show that transition-temperature ranges of phospho- and glycolipids of the brown marine alga Laminaria japonica were similar (from -62 to -47 degrees C up to 62-65 degrees C), except for monogalactosyldiacylglycerol, the low-temperature limit of which was shifted to -78 degrees C. As was shown by polarizing microscopy, the low-enthalpy peaks at temperatures of approx. 30-45 degrees C corresponded to isotropic melting of galactolipids and coincided with the high-temperature limit for photosynthetic and mitochondrial activity of the algae. As a whole, a classical interrelation was observed between thermotropic behaviour and the fatty acid unsaturation of lipids.
