Abstract
The lipid composition of the methylotrophic bacterium Methylosinus trichosporium was examined. Whole-cell lipid distribution was 39.1% neutral lipids, 34.5% polar lipids, and 26.4% poly-beta-hydroxybutyric acid. Membrane lipids were 83% phospholipids, with phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylglycerol accounting for over 94% of the total. All the phospholipids had similar fatty acid compositions, with 18:1 accounting for about 87% of the total and most of the rest consisting of 16:1. Similarities between the lipid composition of this bacterium and other bacteria are discussed.Entities:
