Abstract
Supplementation of a growth medium with 5% glucose stimulated the formation of cardiolipin and phosphatidylethanolamine 5- and 3-fold, respectively, in M. smegmatis. The presence of both cytidine diphosphate diglyceride and phosphatidylglycerol pathways of biosynthesis of cardiolipin in cell-free extracts was demonstrated. The enzymes were localized in the fractions which contained membranes. Isonicotinic acid hydrazide and streptomycin sulfate inhibited the formation of cardiolipin.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
