Abstract
Phospholipids of Gluconobacter cerinus were investigated. The cells of this bacterium were found to have cardiolipin, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylcholine together with three ornithine-containing lipids. Phosphatidylcholine was the most abundant of these phospholipids, and calculated at 31.0% of total phospholipids in the cells at the late logarithmic phase. The fatty acid of this lipid was composed of palmitate, stearate and vaccenate, and there were no remarkable differences in quality among fatty acids of these four phospholipids. The phosphatidylcholine was also found in other acetic acid bacteria.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
