Abstract excerpt

The biosynthesis of lipid A component was shown to be defective in a temperature-sensitive firA mutant of Escherichia coli. Cells were biosynthetically labelled with [14C]acetate and incorporation of radioactivity into the glycerophospholipid compared to lipid A fractions was measured. The lipid...
