The mannophosphoinositides of Nocardia asteroides.
The phospholipid of N. asteroides has been investigated. It was found to contain phosphatidyl ethanolamine, cardiolipin, phosphatidyl inositol and a family of mannophosphoinositides. Dimannophosphoinositides with 3 and 4 moles of fatty acid per phosphate residue represented the major glycophospholipids besides small amounts of other more glycosylated mannophosphoinositides.
