✦ Synopsis

Alkenyl and Mkyl phosphatides were characterized in the lipids of Proteus mirabilis, grown in aerobic conditions. These classes of lipids are also present in the stable L-forms derived from Proteus. The amounts of Mkenyt phosphatides are very low, compared to the other bacteria which contain this lipid. For Mkyl phosphatides, the amounts are of the same order as that found in anaerobic bacteria.
