Lipids were extracted from the cells of Candida lipolytica grown on pure n-hexadecane and on glucose media. The average free lipids produced from each substrate was 7.2% and 7.8% of cellular dry weight, respectively. Free lipids from the cells grown on each substrate were resolved into 7 fractions by thin-layer chromatography. Quantitative techniques showed that the growth substrate affected the chemical composition of the free lipids.
Phospholipids of C. lipolytica grown on n-alkane and on glucose media consisted of, at least, seven different components. These are phosphatidic acid, cardiolipin, phosphatidylglycerol, glycophospholipid (glucose is the sugar base), cephalin, lecithin, and sphingomyelin.
