The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of lipid A, the glycolipid moiety of bacterial lipopolysaccharides, consisting of six fatty acyl chains linked to two glucosamine residues. The chemical reactions and pathways involving glycolipids, compounds containing (usually) 1-4 linked monosaccharide residues joined by a glycosyl linkage to a lipid. The chemical reactions and pathways involving organophosphates, any phosphate-containing organic compound. The chemical reactions and pathways involving phospholipids, any lipid containing phosphoric acid as a mono- or diester. The chemical reactions and pathways involving lipid A, the glycolipid moiety of bacterial lipopolysaccharides, consisting of six fatty acyl chains linked to two glucosamine residues. The chemical reactions and pathways involving lipids, as carried out by individual cells. The chemical reactions and pathways involving membrane lipids, any lipid found in or associated with a biological membrane.
