Prostaglandin-like substances in Propionibacterium acnes. VI. Characterization of the lipid fraction by gas chromatography in conjunction with mass spectrometry.
The lipid fraction of P. acnes was submitted to stepwise purification followed by bioassay in order to localize the prostaglandin-like material. GC-MS analysis revealed the occurrence of substances having a part but not a total molecule in common with the prostaglandin family, suggesting that prostaglandin-like substances represent a new group of prostaglandin compounds.
