 AB    Phosphatidylinositol- and phosphatidylcholine-hydrolyzing activities
       existed in the cell lysates of AIDS-associated Mycoplasma species,
       including Mycoplasma fermentans IID 812, M. fermentans incognitus, and
       M. penetrans GTU-54-6A1. These activities were found to be attributable
       to phospholipases C, because the water-soluble product from
       phosphatidylcholine digested by the cell lysate of M. fermentans IID 812
       was phosphorylcholine. M. fermentans IID 812 was examined for
       localization of these enzymes, and it was found that they were
       associated with the membrane.
