Bacterial Lipids

BOC Sciences offers high quality bacterial lipid products including bacteriophage lipids, fatty acids, phospholipids, and sterols for research in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and life science fields.

What is Bacterial Lipids

  • Structure of Bacterial Lipids

Bacterial lipids are diverse and can vary in their structure and function. The most common type of bacterial lipid is a phospholipid, which consists of a polar group, a glycerol backbone, and two fatty acid tails. The fatty acid tails can be saturated or unsaturated, and their length can vary depending on the type of bacteria.

  • Bacterial Lipids in Membrane Fluidity

The flexibility of bacterial membranes plays a crucial role in numerous cellular activities, such as absorbing nutrients, disposing of waste, and dividing cells. The supple nature of bacterial membranes relies on the configuration and variety of the lipids employed in the membrane. Microbes existing in hostile environments, such as high pressure or temperature, have evolved to modify the lipids they use to ensure their membrane's flexibility is preserved.

  • Bacterial Lipids in Virulence

Pathogenic bacteria rely on bacterial lipids to enhance their virulence. One of the ways in which lipids are used is to evade the host's defense systems and penetrate host cells. Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are an example of bacterial lipids that are present in the outer membranes of Gram-negative bacteria. They are vital in the pathogenicity of these bacteria, enabling them to withstand the host's immune response and infiltrate host cells.

  • Bacterial Lipids as Potential Drug Targets

Given the critical role that bacterial lipids play in bacterial physiology and virulence, they are attractive targets for the development of new antibiotics. For example, many antibiotics, such as polymyxins, disrupt the normal functioning of bacterial lipid biosynthetic machinery by disrupting the integrity of bacterial membranes.
