Current fluctuations in black bilayers from phosphatidyl ethanolamine obtained from egg lecithin were registered in the temperature region of the main phase transition of this phospholipid and the bilayer--hexagonal phase transition about 35 degrees; they correspond to the conductivity changes of hundreds of pSm. This transition takes place in the same temperature region as shown by 31P-NMR and depolarization of light-scattering method in phosphatidyl ethanolamine multilamellar liposomes. The scheme of bilayer transformation into hexagonal phase in the temperature region of lipid polymorphic transition is discussed.
