Abstract excerpt
The pgsA null Escherichia coli strain, UE54, lacks the major anionic phospholipids phosphatidylglycerol and cardiolipin. Despite these alterations the strain exhibits relatively normal cell division. Analysis of the UE54 phospholipids using negativeion electrospray ionization mass spectrometry resulted in identification of a new anionic phospholipid, N-acylphosphatidylethanolamine. Staining with the fluorescent...
