Abstract

1. The phosphatidylethanolamine isolated from Bacillus cereus was degraded by phospholipase A [EC 3.1.1.4] of Crotalus adamanteus with a concomitant release of a lysophosphatidylethanolamine and β-positioned fatty acids in the presence of cetyltrimethylammoniuin bromide. 2. Lysophospholipase [EC 3.1.1.5] from Penicillium notatum split lysophosphatidylethanolamine with formation of an Lα-glycerophosphoryle-thanolamine and the α-positioned fatty acids in the presence of dioleoyl-phosphate. 3. The β-positioned fatty acids were composed of branched C₁₃, normal and branched C₁₄, and branched C₁₅, while the α-positioned ones were composed of branched C₁₅, normal and branched C₁₆ and branched C₁₇ acids.
