Identification of acylated glycoglycerolipids from a cyanobacterium, Synechocystis sp., by tandem mass spectrometry.
Acylated glycoglycerolipids were identified in the total lipid extract from cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. These compounds have a palmitoyl group esterified to the hydroxyl group at the C-6 position of the terminal glycosyl moiety of digalactosyl monoacylglycerol and digalactosyl diacylglycerol. Their structural elucidation was accomplished by tandem mass spectrometry coupled with fast atom bombardment ionization. Acylated digalactosyl monoacylglycerol has a structure of 1-hydroxy-2-palmitoyl-3-O-[(6-O-palmitoyl)-alpha-D-galactopyranosyl -(1-->6)-beta-D-galactopyranosyl]-sn-glycerol. This compound has not been reported previously.
