Turnover of Phosphatidylglycerol in Escherichia coli

RESUMO
In growing cultures of Escherichia coli, the nonacylated glycerol of phosphatidylglycerol (PG) is labeled more rapidly than is the acylated glycerol. This is, in part, due to a rapid exchange reaction of the nonacylated glycerol. Only some of the PG molecules undergo this reaction while others are stable. Using a mutant unable to make glycerophosphate, we have shown that the nonacylated glycerol of PG can exchange with non-phosphorylated glycerol.
