In addition to phosphatidylglycerol (PG), cardiolipin (CL), and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), Sinorhizobium meliloti also possesses phosphatidylcholine (PC) as a major membrane lipid. The biosynthesis of PC in S. meliloti can occur via two different routes, either via the phospholipid N-methylation pathway, in which PE is methylated three times in order to obtain PC, or via the phosphatidylcholine synthase (Pcs)...
