The metabolism of glycerophospholipids is different in eukaryotes, tumor cells, and prokaryotes.
Two major classes are known: those for bacteria and eukaryotes and a separate family for archaea.

Breaking: SARS-CoV-2 Spike found in bacteria samples taken from China, 2019
Unique SARS-CoV-2 genomes found in Antarctic samples raises questions about SARS-CoV-2 origin, lineages
..
A group of Hungarian scientists have recently reported the discovery of SARS-CoV-2 sequences within a set of antarctic soil samples taken in a 3-week-period after 24-12-2018, submitted by the University of Science and Technology of China under the BioProject accession PRJNA692319.
According to the author of PRJNA692319, the DNA from these samples were extracted in December 2019 and sent to Sangon Biotech, Shanghai, China for sequencing.
PRJNA692319 may plausibly represent a cell cultured isolate of SARS-CoV-2 that is already present within a Chinese laboratory before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
SARS-CoV-2 genomic sequences corresponding to both A,B lineage as well as USA-WA-1 was found within samples of Antarctic soil that were extracted and sent for sequencing in December 2019, 101 runs prior to the first sequencing of samples taken from “viral pneumonia of unknown etiology” patients from the Huanan seafood market by the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein is present within Bacterial whole-genome sequencing assembly data, deposited under PRJNA839565, that supposedly contained sequences taken from isolated samples of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa that were taken from patients in 2019, Henan.
More specifically, the SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein have been found within the following 4 WGS shotgun contig sequences, each corresponding to a cultured isolate derived from a Pseudomonas Aeruginosa.
As the cells found within the contaminated antarctic soil samples also show evidence of cell-to-cell fusion and mitochondrial DNA chimerism, a connection between these plasmid-borne, fusion-competent Spike protein sequences and the unique cell type found within these samples also can not be ruled out.

Pseudomonas Aeruginosa
Gammaproteobacteria

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is also able to decompose hydrocarbons and has been used to break down tarballs and oil from oil spills.
..
are Gammaproteobacteria or even Nanobe even bacteria, is why they just changed the classification, probably archaea.
