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