Abstract
A mannosylceramide was isolated by preparative thin-layer chromatography on a 3% borate-impregnated silica gel plate from a monohexosylceramide fraction of the hepatopancreas of the fresh-water bivalve, Hyriopsis schlegelii. It contained only mannose as the sugar component and the ceramide moiety contained mainly sphingosine and palmitic acid. Anomeric configuration of the sugar moiety was determined by enzymatic hydrolysis with β- d-mannosidase. The concentration of this glycolipid was 5% of the total monohexosylceramide fraction of the hepatopancreas.
