Synthesis of Cellulose Precursors: The Involvement of Lipid‐Linked Sugars

Particulate preparations from the Chlorophyta Prototheca zopfii catalyze the incorporation of [14C]glucose from UDP‐[14C]glucose into lipids. These lipids have been characterized as lipid‐P‐glucose, lipid‐PP‐glucose, and lipid‐PP‐oligosaccharides. The lipid‐linked oligosaccharides were a mixture ran...
