Abstract excerpt
We examined the fatty acid composition in an Escherichia coli pgsA3 mutant lacking the potential to synthesize phosphatidylglycerolphosphate, a precursor of phosphatidylglycerol. The contents of C18:1cis-9 (oleic acid) and C18:1cis-11 (cis-vaccenic acid) in the total phospholipids extracted from the pgsA3 mutant growing at 37 degrees C were higher and that of C14:0 was lower than the wild type cells, resulting in...
