The positional distribution of fatty acids in Escherichia coli phospholipids is not regulated by sn-glycerol 3-phosphate levels.
Large changes in the intracellular concentration of sn-glycerol 3-phosphate had no effect on the acyl chain distribution of the phospholipids of Escherichia coli. This result directly contradicts the prediction by other workers based on in vitro experiments.
