Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol (PI) was prepared from egg lecithin by a one-step transphosphatidylation reaction catalysed by phospholipase D in the presence of myo-inositol. Similarly phosphatidylcholine (PC) has been synthesized by the same technique from egg phosphatidylethanolamine using phospholipase D and choline chloride.The yield of PI was ca 25 % and that of PC ca 28 %. The transphosphatidylase function of phospholipase D offers a useful route for the synthesis of different classes of phospholipids.
