Lipid composition of the cells of smooth (S form) and core-defective rough mutants (Ra, Rb & Re) of Salmonella minnesota has been studied. The readily-extractable lipids (RELs), acid-extractable lipids, and polar and nonpolar phospholipids have been analysed. Fatty acid composition of the different
The lipid content of Salmonella typhimurium was examined after growth in the presence of benzylpenicillin, ampicillin, mecillinam and tetracycline in nutrient broth and a defined medium with either glucose, acetate or glycerol as the sole carbon source. The total lipid content was not changed
