The Phospholipase A1 Activity of Glycerol Ester Hydrolase (Geh) Is Responsible for Extracellular 2-12(S)-Methyltetradecanoyl-Lysophosphatidylglycerol Production in Staphylococcus aureus

ABSTRACT Phosphatidylglycerol (PG) is the major membrane phospholipid of Staphylococcus aureus and predominately consists of molecular species with ≥16-carbon acyl chains in the 1-position and anteiso 12(S)-methyltetradecaonate (a15) esterified at the 2-position. The analysis of the growth media for...
