The esxC mutant is less able to incorporate LA into its phospholipids. Representative HPLC chromatograms of native phosphatidylglycerol (PG) species of S. aureus USA300 JE2 WT (A) or ΔesxC (B) grown in TSB (top panel) or in TSB supplemented with 10 µM LA (bottom panel), in negative ionisation mode. Relative quantification of the indicated PG species containing an unsaturated FA in LA-treated WT, ΔessC and ΔesxC. The C18:2-containing PG species, C33:2 (C) and total unsaturated fatty acid (C18:2, C20:2 and C22:2) containing exogenous PG species (C33:2, C35:2 and C37:2) (D) are presented as ratios of total PG species. Mean values are shown; error bars represent SD. n = 3, *indicates P < 0.05 using one-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s test.
