title: [The fatty acids of Trypanosoma brucei brucei. A comparative study with those of T. b. rhodesiense and T. b. gambiense].
abstract: Total lipid extracts from Trypanosoma brucei brucei (T.b.b.), Trypanosoma brucei gambiense (T.b.g.) and Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense (T.b.r.) were hydrolyzed and the liberated fatty acids were methylated before analysis by gas-liquid chromatography on capillary columns. The sums of the percentages for fatty acids from the different series were compared and the following relationships for the different trypanosomes obtained: --saturated fatty acids T.b.b. greater than T.b.g. greater than T.b.r., --oleic series (omega 9) T.b.g. = T.b.r. greater than T.b.b., --linoleic series (omega 6) T.b.r. greater than T.b.g. greater than T.b.b., --linolenic series (omega 3) T.b.g. greater than T.b.b. greater than T.b.r.
