The results indicated that phospholipids were broken down and phosphatidylinositol mannosides had a high turnover rate. The other two main components, cardiolipin and phosphatidylethanolamine, had a relatively low rate of turnover., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/micro/10.1099/00221287-116-1-89
