Abstract

Ornithinyl ester of phosphatidyl glycerol was found to accumulate in Mycobacterium 607 under acidic conditions (pH 5.6) of growth or in cultures of ultraviolet-irradiated (320 to 420 nm) bacilli. There was a corresponding decrease in cardiolipin content of the organisms under these conditions.
