Products of phospholipid metabolism in Bacillus stearothermophilus

Abstract

The products of phospholipid turnover in Bacillus stearothermophilus were determined in cultures labeled to equilibrium and with short pulses of [32P]phosphate and [2-3H]glycerol. Label lost from the cellular lipid pool was recovered in

Influence of salt concentration on membrane lipids of halophilic bacteria

“…De novo PG synthesis is regulated by PGP synthetase and that of PE by PS synthetase [17,18]. PG and PE may also be interconverted [18][19][20], probably via formation of PS by a polar head group exchange reaction of PG with serine followed by decarboxylation of the PS [20], as shown in Fig. lB.…”
