Some characteristic features of the lipid metabolism of Bacillus brevis var. G.-B. natural variants and Bacillus brevis mutant 101 were studied. The authors found that upon submerged cultivation gramicidine S-producing P+-variant and B. brevis mutant 101 synthesized higher amounts of tocopherols as compared to other colonial-morphological variants. The highest tocopherol content was observed in P+-variant, whose cells contained the highest amount of total lipids as compared to other gramicidine S-producers.
