Abstract
The phospholipid composition of Caulobacter crescentus CB13 and CB15 was determined. The acidic phospholipids, phosphatidylglycerol and cardiolipin, comprise approximately 87% of the total phospholipids. Neither phosphatidylethanolamine nor its precursor phosphatidylserine was detected. The outer and inner membranes of C. crescentus CB13 were separated, and phospholipid analysis revealed heterogeneity with respect to the relative amounts of phosphatidylglycerol and cardiolipin in the two membranes. As has been shown to be the case for other bacterial membranes, the concentration of cardiolipin increases and phosphatidylglycerol decreases as cell cultures enter stationary phase.Entities:
