title: Prostaglandin-like substances in Propionibacterium acnes. VI. Characterization of the lipid fraction by gas chromatography in conjunction with mass spectrometry.
abstract: 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.
