Abstract

1. 1. Herpetomonas samuelpessoai was able to synthesize phosphoglycerides from low molecular weight precursors. 2. 2. The major phospholipids found in cells grown in either chemically defined or complex medium were phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylinositol. 3. 3. Sphingomyelin was found only in cells grown in complex medium whereas phosphatidylserine was present in cells from chemically defined medium. 4. 4. Kinetics of radioactive phosphate incorporation into phospholipids was similar in both types of cells, as well as the fate of prelabeled phospholipids.
