Abstract excerpt

Activity of the Escherichia coli cardiolipin synthase, encoded by cls, increased about 10-fold in the stationary growth phase, while other committed-step enzymes in phospholipid biosynthesis rather decreased. A null cls mutant lost viability to 10(-4) of the wild-type cells during the prolonged i...
