Increasing temperatures of cultivation caused the cellular phospholipid content of C. glutamicum to decrease significantly. Simultaneously, the melting point of phospholipid fractions, i. e. the temperature of the ordered‐disordered phase transition, increased. A hypothetical connection between the cellular phospholipid composition and the temperature‐depended lysine efflux is discussed.
