title: Fatty acids in phospholipids of cells, cysts, and germinating cysts of Azotobacter vinelandii.
abstract: Cyclopropane fatty acids constitute 25% of the phospholipid acyl groups in cysts of Azotobacter vinelandii. These are lost by dilution during germination when the synthesis of the fatty acids characteristic of vegetative cell phospholipids commences.
