摘要

This paper describes a study of the phospholipid profile of Escherichia coli MG1655 cultures at the B and D periods of the cell cycle. The results indicate that the phosphatidyl glycerol fraction grows relatively rapidly and that the size of the cardiolipin (CL) fraction does not grow at all during cell elongation. This is consistent with observations that CL is located preferentially at the poles of E. coli. It also suggests that lipid production is controlled as a function of the cell cycle.
