Phospholipids are membrane components in E. coli. The major phospholipids of E. coli are phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, and cardiolipin. All phospholipids contain sn-glycerol-3-phosphate esterified with fatty acids at the sn-1 and sn-2 positions. The reaction starts from a glycerone phosphate (dihydroxyacetone phosphate) produced in glycolysis. The glycerone phosphate is transformed into an sn-glycerol 3-phosphate (glycerol 3 phosphate) by NADPH-driven glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. sn-Glycerol 3-phosphate is transformed to a 1-acyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate (lysophosphatidic acid). This can be achieved by an sn-glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase that interacts either with a long-chain acyl-CoA or with an acyl-[acp]. The 1-acyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate is transformed into a 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate (phosphatidic acid) through a 1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase. This compound is then converted into a CPD-diacylglycerol through a CTP phosphatidate cytididyltransferase. CPD-diacylglycerol can be transformed either into an L-1-phosphatidylserine or an L-1-phosphatidylglycerol-phosphate through a phosphatidylserine synthase or a phosphatidylglycerophosphate synthase, respectively. The L-1-phosphatidylserine transforms into L-1-phosphatidylethanolamine through a phosphatidylserine decarboxylase. On the other hand, L-1-phosphatidylglycerol-phosphate gets transformed into an L-1-phosphatidyl-glycerol through a phosphatidylglycerophosphatase. These 2 products combine to produce a cardiolipin and an ethanolamine. The L-1 phosphatidyl-glycerol can also interact with cardiolipin synthase resulting in a glycerol and a cardiolipin.

Fatty acid metabolism is also known as beta-oxidation. During beta-oxidation, acetyl-CoA is produced which can be used in the citric acid cycle. When ATP is needed, ATP may be generated by increasing fatty acid metabolism. Therefore fatty acids constitute a large energy source for organisms since it can be a source of generated ATP when needed. Fatty acid metabolism is essentially the reverse reaction of fatty acid synthesis which is essential for cellular processes since the membrane is mostly made up of fatty acids.

This pathway is a compilation of Escherichia coli inner membrane transport complexes that transport compounds from the periplasmic space into the cytosol. Many compound classes are carried by these inner membrane transport complexes including sugars, amino acids, and lipids.

Benzoate, an environmental pollutant, is utilized by bacteria such as Aromatoleum aromaticum to yield energy and carbon. While the precise transport mechanisms remain under research, it is proposed that benzoate is transported across the cell membrane passively or actively via transport proteins such as permeases and porins. Benzoate is then converted to benzoyl-CoA by benzoate-CoA ligase. Benzoyl-CoA then undergoes further degradation, catalyzed by enzymes like benzoyl-CoA reductase, leading to the formation of intermediate cyclohexane compounds which are ultimately converted into central metabolites that can enter the citrate cycle for further energy generation
