The uptake of amino acids by lipids of pseudomonas aeruginosa*†

The lipids of intact Pseudomonas aeruginosa resting cells were extracted and the weights of the lipid fractions determined. The phospholipids were found to comprise a major portion (80%) of the ether-soluble lipids. Chromatograms of the phospholipid complex on silicic acid-impregnated paper revealed...
