The neutral lipids of Acholeplasma axanthum contain carotenoid pigments, as evidenced by spectral characteristics, visual color, color reactions, and labeling with [2-14C-A1mevalonic acid. Approximately 80% of the label from [2-14C]mevalonic acid appeared in esterified fatty acids of the glycolipids and polar lipids. These carboxylic acids behaved as hydroxy acids of varying chain length.
无黄无胆甾原体的中性脂质含有类胡萝卜素色素，这可通过光谱特征、视觉颜色、颜色反应以及用[2-¹⁴C]甲羟戊酸标记来证明。来自[2-¹⁴C]甲羟戊酸的标记中约80%出现在糖脂和极性脂质的酯化脂肪酸中。这些羧酸表现为链长各异的羟酸。
