Phosphorus-Free Membrane Lipids of Sinorhizobium meliloti Are Not Required for the Symbiosis with Alfalfa but Contribute to Increased Cell Yields Under Phosphorus-Limiting Conditions of Growth

Phosphorus-Free Membrane Lipids of Sinorhizobium meliloti Are Not Required for the Symbiosis with Alfalfa but Contribute to Increased Cell Yields Under Phosphorus-Limiting Conditions of Growth

The microsymbiont of alfalfa, Sinorhizobium meliloti, possesses phosphatidylglycerol, cardiolipin, phosphatidylethanolamine, and phosphatidylcholine as major membrane phospholipids, when grown in the presence of sufficient accessible phosphorus sources. Under phosphate-limiting conditions of growth,...
