  • Title: Evidence for the incorporation of a fluorescent anthracene fatty acid into the membrane lipids of Micrococcus luteus.
    Author: Welby M, Tocanne JF.
    Journal: Biochim Biophys Acta; 1982 Jul 14; 689(1):173-6. PubMed ID: 7104349.
    Abstract:
    9-(2-Anthryl)-nonanoic acid, a newly synthesized photoactivable molecule, is shown to be incorporated into the membrane lipids of the bacterium Micrococcus luteus, through the regular metabolic pathway. This incorporation, which occurs at the sn-1 position exclusively and without any degradation or elongation of the anthracene fatty acid, is accompanied by an upward shift of the chain length of the other fatty acids.
