Abstract
The nonpolar lipids of a halotolerant S. epidermidis, Nace isolated in pure culture from a growth medium for extreme halophiles containing 25% NaCl contained squalene, menaquinone-7, free fatty acids (mainly anteiso-15:0 and anteiso-17:0), undecaprenol, nonaprenol with predominately cis-isoprene residues, heptaprenol, with predominately trans-isoprene residues, and 1,2- and 1,3-diglycerides containing anteiso-15:0 and anteiso-17:0 branched chain fatty acid residues. The above compounds were isolated in pure form by column and TLC and were characterized by UV, PMR and mass spectra. Fatty acid moieities were characterized by GLC retention times of their methyl esters.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
