Abstract Phospholipids of Tenebrio molitor larvae were
separated on columns of DEAE-cellulose and silicic acid-Hyflo Super Cel. The major phosphatide components were
identified by various analytical procedures.
Phosphatidyl choline was demonstrated to be the
predominant phospholipid with a high percentage of
phosphatidyl ethanolamine. A small amount of inositol-containing
phosphatides were present. Phosphatidyl
serine was undetectable but an unknown amino acid-containing
phosphatide comprised one of the fractions.
Evidence is also presented for the existence of a
choline-containing sphingolipid.
The results show that the phospholipid pattern
was similar to those of other insects.
