Abstract
Summary The lipid composition of Trypa-nosoma ranarum was determined. The cells contained traces of monoglycerides and about equal amounts of di- and triglycerides. Free fatty acids and “fast acting“ sterols, mostly in free form, were present. The sterol was isolated and identified as ergosterol. The implications of these findings are discussed.Keywords
