Propionate-induced synthesis of odd-chain-length fatty acids by Escherichia coli

L O Ingram et al. J Bacteriol. 1977 Sep.

Abstract

Exogenous propionate is incorporated in vivo by Escherichia coli as a primer to produce lipids with fatty acids of odd chain lengths. This provides a method for the specific labeling of the three terminal carbons in the fatty acyl chains of phospholipids.
