Abstract
⺠The dynamic structure of the membrane of a deep-sea piezophile was investigated. ⺠The membrane was highly rigid with respect to a high order parameter. ⺠EPA deficiency resulted in membrane disorder and an increased palmitoleic acid level. ⺠EPA plays a role in preventing the membrane hyperfluid and maintaining the stability.
