Godfrey, D.G.2015-08-242015-08-241967Godfrey, D. G. (1967). Phospholipids of Trypanosoma lewisi, T. vivax, T. congolense, and T. brucei. Experimental Parasitology, 20(1), 106-1180031-1820http://Kalroerepoitory.kalro.org/handle/0/10883The mean lipid content of various isolates of Trypanosoma lell'isi, T. vivax, T. congolellse, and T. brucei ranged from 12.3 to 19.4% of the dry weight. The total lipid phosphorus in most isolations was similar, the means ranging from 2.17 to 2.61 mg of phosphorus per 100 mg of lipid; one isolation of T. vivax, however, had a mean of 2.07, which was significantly different from another of the same species. Five main phosphoruscontaining fractions were separated by thin-layer chromatography; four were identified as the phospholipids: lysolecithin, sphingomyelin, lecithin, and phosphatidyl ethanolamine, while the other fraction could not be identified. Two further minor phosphorus-containing fractions were sometimes seen but their identities were unknown.englishhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/Journal ContributionPhospholipidsTrypanosomaTrypanosoma vivaxTrypanosoma brucei
