Phosphoglyceride metabolism inStreptomyces griseus

Current Microbiology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Metabolism of phospholipids has been investigated inStreptomyces griseus by pulse-labeling of phospholipids with32P-orthophosphate and subsequent chasing of the radioactivity. It is clear from the results that inositol-containing phospholipids have the highest rate of biosynthesis with high turnover followed by cardiolipin and phosphatidylethanolamine. Phosphatidylethanolamine appears to be a stable component of the phospholipids.
