(2-methyl-4,5-ditridecyl-1,4-cyclohexadienyl)methanol has been isolated from the lipidic fraction of the ethanologenic bacterium Zymomonas mobilis. The amphiphilic feature of this novel lipid is compatible with interactions within a phospholipid bilayers and suggests a function in membrane metabolism of the bacterium.
