Isolation of a new phospholipid, phosphatidyl-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-alanine, from rumen protozoa.
1. Phosphatidyl-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)alanine was isolated from the mixed protozoal fraction of rumen and characterized. 2. Of the fatty acids 31% was octadecenoic acid, 91% of which was the trans-Delta(11)-isomer, an intermediary in the ruminal hydrogenation of linolenic acid and linoleic acid.
