Lowering oxygen tension in free-living Bradyrhizobium japonicum resulted in a dramatic switch of membrane chemistry in which phosphatidylcholine, the predominant lipid in aerated cultures, was no longer synthesized and phosphatidylethanolamine became the major lipid. Besides this change, phosphatidylinositol, a typical plant lipid rarely found in bacteria, was also synthesized.
降低自由生活的日本慢生根瘤菌中的氧张力会导致膜化学性质发生显著转变,即通气培养中的主要脂质磷脂酰胆碱不再合成,磷脂酰乙醇胺成为主要脂质。除了这种变化外,细菌中很少发现的典型植物脂质磷脂酰肌醇也被合成。
