Abstract
Thin-layer chromatographic analyses were made of phospholipids extracted from adult E. revolutum and from the nonnutrient medium where worms were maintained. Identity of phospholipids was based on comparison with authentic lipid standards and on specific chemical detection tests. The most abundant phospholipids in the extract were phosphatidyl choline, phosphatidyl ethanolamine and phosphatidyl serine; lesser amounts of cerebrosides and lysophosphatidyl choline were also detected. Phospholipids detected in the incubation medium were essentially as described for extracts.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
