Comparison of Lipids and Lipopolysaccharide from the Bacillary and L Forms of Proteus P18

Abstract: on the L fornm of Proteuts P18 and the parent bacterium grown in a defined medium showed that the L form contained 1.5 times as much extractable lipid (dry weight) as the bacillary form. The composition of the lipids extractable by chloroform-methanol was quite similar in the two bacterial forms. The occurrence of mvristate and ,-hydroxymyristate in the bound, nonextractable lipid was found to be a reflection of the presence of lipopolysaceharide (LPS) in each organism. The bacillary organism contains three to… Show more

“…As was found already in the 1960s, fatty acids with a cyclopropane ring are very susceptible to acidic conditions that cause cleavage of the ring. This was documented in 1965 by Nesbitt and Lennarz [33] who therefore saponified cells of the genus Proteus by 10% NaOH and methylated free FA by diazomethane. This approach, which was used also by other authors [34], avoided the cleavage of the cyclopropane ring.…”

“…The fatty acids were obtained from the glycerides by alkaline hydrolysis (6), and the methyl esters were prepared for gas liquid chromatographic (GLC) analysis by the method of aThe fatty acids were identified as methyl esters by comparing their retention time with that of authentic samples. The composition of the fatty acids was calculated on the basis of their gas chromatographic areas by the triangulation procedure.…”
