Comparative Study

Phospholipid composition of Desulfovibrio species

R A Makula et al. J Bacteriol. 1974 Dec.

Abstract

The phospholipids of Desulfovibrio desulfuricans, Norway strain, D. vulgaris, and D. gigas were examined in relationship to their qualitative and quantitative composition. D. desulfuricans and D. vulgaris exhibited an essentially identical phospholipid composition consisting of phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, cardiolipin, and lysophosphatidylserine. Phosphatidylserine (10.9%) was present in D. desulfuricans but was not detected in D. vulgaris. D. gigas was found to contain only two phospholipids, phosphatidylethanolamine (30%) and phosphatidylglycerol (70%). An ornithine-containing lipid was detected in D. gigas which was not present in the other two Desulfovibrio species.
