| Abstract: | Abstract Streptomyces viridochromogenes was grown both as submerged and surface culture. Mycelia from these cultures were analysed for the composition of lipids and fatty acids. An increase in ornithinolipid content according to incubation time was observed. The addition of phosphate inhibited the ornithinolipid synthesis. A mutant strain with bald phenotype did not exhibit the phosphate inhibition. At the same time, the mutant strain had a higher content of 12-methyltetradecanoic acid. |
