title: Evidence that incorporation of exogenous fatty acids into the phospholipids of Escherichia coli does not require acyl carrier protein.
abstract: Cells of an Escherichia coli acpS mutant were prepared with decreased intracellular concentrations (to 10% of the normal level) of the holo form of acyl carrier protein. These cells incorporated exogenous oleic acid into phospholipid at a normal rate.
