Membrane thickness, lipid phase and sterol type are determining factors in the permeability of membranes to small solutes

Cell membranes provide a selective semi-permeable barrier to the passive transport of molecules. This property differs greatly between organisms. While the cytoplasmic membrane of bacterial cells is highly permeable for weak acids and glycerol, yeasts can maintain large concentration gradients. Here...
