Comparative lipid biochemistry—II. Lipids of plant and animal flagellates, a non-motile alga, an ameba and a ciliate

摘要: Abstract 1. The qualitative lipid pattern of eight flagellates, both plant and animal, a non-motile alga, an ameba ciliate were compared by paper chromatographic techniques. 2. algal flagellates ( Chlamydomonas, Euglena ) the alga Chlorella had common distinct from animal Crithidia, Herpetomonas, Leishmania Trypanosoma ), Acanthamoeba Tetrahymena ). 3. phosphatide Ochromonas only superficial resemblance to these forms. 4. plants distinguished absence plasmalogen presence glycolipid, phosphatidyl glycerol sulfatide. 5. animals characterized ethanollamine plasmalogen, trace amounts choline in , serine as well. two monoglyceride components, one resembling α-glyceryl ether.
