This study shows that exogenous antimicrobial straight-chain unsaturated fatty acids (SCUFAs) promote low-temperature growth of Staphylococcus aureus by altering membrane lipid composition and enhancing carotenoid production.

This study shows that oleic acid alters S. aureus membrane lipid composition, increasing resistance to antimicrobial peptides by changing biophysical properties.

This paper shows that Staphylococcus aureus uses exogenous unsaturated fatty acids to enhance growth at low temperatures through lipid remodeling and carotenoid production.
