Thematic Review Series: Glycerolipids. Acyltransferases in bacterial glycerophospholipid synthesis*

Phospholipid biosynthesis is a vital facet of bacterial physiology that begins with the synthesis of the fatty acids by a soluble type II fatty acid synthase. The bacterial glycerol-phosphate acyltransferases utilize the completed fatty acid chains to form the first membrane phospholipid and thus pl...
