Popis: The phospholipid composition of two strains ofBradyrhizobium is reported. In contrast to previous studies [Bunn CR, Elkan GH (1970) Can J Microbiol 17:291–295; and Gerson T, Patel JJ (1975) Appl Microbiol 30:193–198], we determined that phosphatidylglycerol is a major phospholipid within this bacterial genus. Furthermore, neither phosphatidylserine nor phosphatidylinositol was detected within lipid extracts derived from these bacteria. In addition to phosphatidylglycerol, other major phospholipids ofBradyrhizobium were shown to include phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, and cardiolipin. Possible explanations for the discrepancies between the present study and those of previous investigations are discussed.
