= Homeoviscous adaptation
<homeoviscous adaptation> changes membrane composition in response to conditions such as growth <temperature>, helping preserve useful membrane dynamics. The original <Escherichia coli> study measured temperature-dependent fatty-acid changes and membrane-lipid viscosity by spin labeling.<Homeoviscous adaptation—a homeostatic process that regulates the viscosity of membrane lipids in Escherichia coli by Michael Sinensky>[pp. 522–525, temperature-dependent composition and viscosity measurements]{ref}
