Some Gram-positive bacteria also encode a soluble diacylglycerol kinase capable of reintroducing DAG into the phospholipid biosynthesis pathway. DAG accumulates in Gram-positive bacteria as a result of the transfer of glycerol-1-phosphate moieties from phosphatidylglycerol to lipotechoic acid.
Some Gram-positive bacteria also have a diacylglycerol kinase that can reinsert DAG into their phospholipid biosynthesis process. This causes an accumulation of DAG in these bacteria due to the transfer of glycerol-1-phosphate groups from phosphatidylglycerol to lipotechoic acid.
