Abstract Using Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Spectroscopy, Al 3+ was shown to produce a dramatic decrease of membrane lipid fluidity on the microorganism Thermoplasma acidophilum at a pH> 2. The ability of Al 3+ to alter lipid fluidity was enhanced with increasing pH (from 3 to 5). At pH 4, 10− 2 M Al 3+ increased the lower lipid phase transition by 39° C, and a detectable change was observed with AlCl 3 concentrations as low as 10− 5 M. The ability of Al 3+ to increase the lower lipid phase transition temperature of T. acidophilum is the largest of any cation/lipid interaction yet reported.
