Abstract excerpt
The sulfolipid 6-sulfo-alpha-D-quinovosyl diacylglycerol is found in the photosynthetic membranes of all plants and most photosynthetic bacteria. Progress toward the elucidation of the pathway for sulfolipid biosynthesis has been slow in the past. However, the recent isolation of three genes of the photosynthetic bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides known to be involved in sulfolipid biosynthesis provides promising...
