The fatty acid composition of microbial cell membranes affects their ability to survive in various environments (Ghfir et al. 1994).

Microbial cell membranes, where various essential processes occur, are a primary target of LCFAs.

LCFAs then adsorb to and are transported within microbial cell membranes.

Do the immune systems of other organisms also recognize molecules from microbial cell membranes to trigger this kind of counterattack?

Chitosan is a natural biocompatible cationic polysaccharide that interacts with microbial cell membranes, resulting in disruption of bacterial cells (Arciola et al. 2012).
