Lipid composition of Microsporum gypseum.
Lipid composition of Microsporum gypseum grown in Sabouraud's liquid media on a rotary shaker were analyzed. The organism contains 6.07% lipid (dry weight basis), of which 75.88% is neutral lipids, 0.9% phospholipids and the rest are glycolipids and pigments. Phospholipids of M. gypseum contain phosphatidyl choline (44.21%), phosphatidyl ethanolamine (17.8%), polyphospho inositide (12.13%), phosphatidyl inositol (8.24%), phosphatidic acid (4.61%) and cardiolipin. Phosphatidyl serine is absent. The neutral lipid composition (expressed as mg/g dry weight of mycelia) of M. gypseum is monoglycerides (1.35), diglyceride (2.87), triglycerides (35.79), free fatty acids (1.00), sterols (3.95) and sterol esters (1.13).
