LIPIDS OF SARCINA LUTEA. 3. COMPOSITION OF THE COMPLEX LIPIDS

Abstract

The complex lipids of a strain of Sarcina lutea were isolated and separated into fractions on DEAE cellulose acetate and silicic acid columns. These fractions were monitored in several thin layer chromatography systems. The various lipid types were characterized by their behavior in thin-layer systems and by an analysis of their hydrolysis products. The fatty acid composition of the column fractions was determined by gas liquid chromatography. Thirteen components were separated by thin-layer chromatography and characterized. The major components were polyglycerol phosphatide (17.0%), lipoamino acids (15.1%), phosphatidyl glycerol (13.8%), and an incompletely characterized substance (15. 0%). Minor constituents included phosphatidyl inositol (5.5%), phosphatidic acid (4.2%), phosphatidyl serine (2.0%), and phosphatidyl choline (1.0%). No phosphatidyl ethanolamine was observed.
