Application

Lipid Mixture (1000×) is used as a component in culture medium (of Perkinsus marinus strain). It is also used in Perkinsus marinus metabolite labeling and analysis.

Biochem/physiol Actions

The density of a lipid mixture is composed of nearly 85% wax esters. The wax ester mixture melts as a function of temperature at atmospheric pressure. No significant indications of non-random long-range lateral lipid distribution are seen in the all-fluid and all-gel state of the lipid mixture at ambient pressure. The morphology of the concentration fluctuations that is observed within the two-phase coexistence region of the lipid mixture can be characterized as a complex heterogeneous network of coexisting clusters with fractal-like properties.
