Membranes from Bacillus caldotenax contain neutral lipids and phospholipids such as phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidyl glycerol and cardiolipin. Each of the lipids has almost the same fatty acid composition. When the growth temperature decreases, not only the fatty acid composition but also the lipid composition changes such that the membrane fluidity increases, and the composition of membrane-bound proteins also changes. On shifting the growth temperature from 65° to 45°C, the bacterium grows immediately with a doubling time at 45°C, but the compositions of proteins and lipids in membranes gradually change and reach the compositions typical of cells growing at 45°C one doubling time after the temperature shift, respectively. It is concluded that the change in chemical composition of membrane of the bacterium on the temperature shift from 65° to 45°C is not prerequisite for growth at 45°C.  相似文献

This investigation was conducted to observe changes in the compositions of fatty acids, glycolipids (GL) and phospholipids (PL) in cotyledons of soybean seeds which were germinated either in the dark or the light at 28°C for 8 days. The patterns of changes in lipid composition depended on the germinating conditions tested. In general, non-polar lipids were metabolized at a faster rate than polar lipids. Changes in lipid contents in cotyledons were also observed more clearly with the polar lipids than with the non-polar ones, especially in the light-grown seedlings. The major component of lipid, GL in chloroplasts, appeared rapidly at an earlier stage in the cotyledons of light-grown seedlings. During germination of soybean seeds, acyl sterylglucoside in cotyledons decreased rapidly, but monogalactosyl diglyceride and digalactosyl diglyceride (DGD) increased in the light-grown seedlings, whereas sterylglucoside and DGD increased in the dark-grown seedlings.

The major PL present immediately after immersion were phosphatidyl ethanolamine (PE), phosphatidyl choline (PC) and phosphatidyl inositol (PI). During germination under both conditions, light and dark, PE in cotyledons decreased with PC or PI, while phosphatidic acid increased rapidly, and phosphatidyl glycerol and diphosphatidyl glycerol also increased slightly. These changes in glycolipid and phospholipid compositions during germination seem to occur from the formation of photosynthetic tissues and the metabolic interconversion of phospholipids.  相似文献

The composition and phase behavior of some lipid classes and mixtures of thylakoid polar lipids were measured to investigate their role as determinants of the temperature of the transition associated with chilling injury. For Nerium oleander L., a plant which acclimates to growth temperature, a mixture of the phosphatidylglycerol (PG) and sulfoquinovosyldiacylglycerol (SQDG) showed transition temperatures of 22° and 10° C for plants grown at 45° and 20° C, respectively. This difference was similar to the 9 Celsius degrees differential in the transition of the polar lipids and indicated that the PG and-or the PG-SQDG mixture could be the major determinants of the transition temperature. Reconstitution of the PG-SQDG mixture from 20°-grown oleander with the galactolipids from 45°-grown plants, however, reduced the transition temperature by only 4 Celsius degrees. This indicates that some, low-melting-point lipids, which are structurally capable of forming a co-gel with the high-melting-point lipids, also play a role in determining the temperature of the transition and that the composition of these low-melting-point lipids also changes with growth temperature. More specific information on the role of PG was obtained using polar lipids from Cucumis sativus L., a chilling-sensitive plant. For this material the transition in the polar lipids was reduced from 9° to 5° and 4° C when the transition of the PG was reduced from 32° to 25° and 22° C. This was accomplished by reducing the proportion of disaturated molecular species in PG from 78 to 56 and 44 mol% by the addition of a fraction of the PG enriched in unsaturated molecular species. The data indicate that the transition temperature of the polar lipids of cucumber would be reduced to below 0° C, typical of a chillinginsensitive plant, when the transition temperature of PG was reduced to 15° C and this would occur at 21 mol% of disaturated molecular species. It is concluded that the transition in the thylakoid polar lipids, associated with chilling injury, involves both high- and low-meltingpoint lipids but can be reduced when the transition temperature of the high-melting-point component is reduced.Abbreviations DGDG digalactosyldiacylglycerol - MGDG monogalactosyldiacylglycerol - PG phosphatidylglycerol - SQDG sulfoquinovosyldiacylglycerol  相似文献

[1-14C]-Acetate incorporation into total and polar lipids was studied in the growing pollen tubes of Crotalaria juncea. Ungerminated pollen had phosphatidyl inositol, phosphatidyl serine, phosphatidyl choline, phosphatidyl ethanolamine, phosphatidyl glycerol, monogalactosyl diglyceride, digalactosyl diglyceride, sulpholipid and steryl glycosides. In the growing pollen tubes considerable [1-14C]-acetate incorporation was observed into the individual polar lipids. The exogenous carbon source significantly influenced lipid biosynthesis. Boric acid (20mg/l.) promoted both pollen tube growth and acetate incorporation into phospholipids. In comparison to 5′-adenosine monophosphate, cyclic-3′,5′-adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) promoted tube growth and also enhanced phospho-and glycolipid biosynthesis. The regulation of membrane component biosynthesis by cAMP is suggested.  相似文献

Cultivation of Catharanthus roseus hairy root cultures at different temperatures was found to have an effect on growth rate and indole alkaloid content as well as lipid composition. When lowering the temperature, the roots responded by increasing the degree of unsaturation of cellular lipids, which was mainly due to an increased proportion of linolenic acid in the main lipid classes. The modifications in lipid composition were obviously necessary for the roots to retain the proper cell membrane fluidity at each temperature. Despite of changes in membrane lipids, no effect on the distribution of indole alkaloids between the roots and the medium could be detected. Instead, the level of alkaloid accumulation showed a clear increase with lowering temperature.Abbreviations PC phosphatidylcholine - PE phosphatidylethanolamine - PI phosphatidylinositol - PS phosphatidylserine - PG phosphatidylglycerol - CL cardiolipin - DGD digalactosyldiglyceride - MGD monogalactosyldiglyceride - NL neutral lipids - DU degree of fatty acid unsaturation  相似文献

Mesosomal vesicles and plasma membranes were isolated from Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538P by protoplasting and differential centrifugation. The lipids of each of the two membrane fractions were extracted with pyridine-acetic acid-N-butanol, and the nonlipid contaminants were removed by Sephadex treatment. The lipids were then separated by passage through diethylaminoethyl-cellulose columns and characterized by thin-layer chromatographic, chemical, and spectral analyses. The lipids were separated into four discrete diethylaminoethyl fractions: (i) vitamin K2, carotenoids, C55 isoprenoid alcohol, and monoglucosyl diglyceride; (ii) cardiolipin, carotenoids, phosphatidyl glycerol, diglucosyl diglyceride, and an unidentified ninhydrin-positive component; (iii) cardiolipid and phosphatidyl glyderol; (iv) cardiolipin, phosphatidyl glycerol, and phosphatidyl glucose. Qualitatively, no difference in lipid composition between mesosomal vesicles and plasma membranes was found. However, based on equal dry weights of membrane materials, a relative quantitative difference in the amount of specific lipids in mesosomal vesicles and plasma membranes was observed. There are 4 times more monoglucosyl diglyceride, 2.6 times more diglucosyl diglyceride, 3.8 times more phosphatidyl glucose, 2 times more carotenoids, and 2 times more vitamin K2 found in mesosomal vesicles than in plasma membranes. The concentration of cardiolipin and phosphatidyl glycerol is 3.6 and 6 times greater, respectively, in mesosomal vesicles.  相似文献

The main glycerolipids (monogalactosyl-, digalactosyl-, sulphoquinovosyl diacylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol) from five blue-green algae (Microcystis, Anabaena, Nostoc, Oscillatoria, Tolypothrix) were analyzed for fatty acid composition, occurrence of diglyceride species and positional distribution of fatty acids between thesn-1- andsn-2-position of glycerol. In contrast to eucaryotic plants biosynthetically closely related lipids (monogalactosyl-, digalactosyl-, trigalactosyl diacylglycerol) show nearly identical diglyceride moieties, whereas sulphoquinovosyl diacylglycerol and phosphatidylglycerol are separated from galactolipids by composition as well as occurrence of fatty acids. On the other hand the positional distribution of fatty acids in all lipids is controlled exclusively by chain length and not by degree of unsaturation with C18-fatty acids at thesn-1- and C16-fatty acids at thesn-2-position. These results show that in procaryotic organisms the diversity in diglyceride portions of lipids is reduced as compared to eucaryotic organisms, but nevertheless does exist.Abbreviations MGD, DGD, TGD, SQD monogalactosyl-, digalactosyl-, trigalactosyl-, sulphoquinovosyl diacylglycerol - PG phosphatidyl glycerol  相似文献

Summary A method, using albumin-pyrene complexes, has been developed for labeling, in a controlled manner, crab leg nerves whose excitability was preserved.The excimer-to-monomer fluorescence intensity ratio of pyrene, embedded in nerve membrane lipids and in their crude lipid extracts, is a fluidity parameter which displayed the following features with temperatures. a—a temperature-dependent increase of fluidity b—three breaks (6°, 19° and 37°C) in the physiological medium c—In Ca ++-depleted sea water, the 37° characteristic temperature vanished.These breaks may reflect some lateral phase separations of the lipid components of nerve membranes. The calcium dependent temperature break may involve a segregation of acidic phospholipids while the other two breaks (6° and 19°C) may be due to neutral lipids phase separation. The relationship of these findings to nerve function is discussed.  相似文献

The total lipid content of Acremonium alabamensis and Thermomucor indicae-seudaticae ranged 2.6–7.3 and 8.5–13.0% of dry mycelium, respectively during development. Neutral lipid fraction increased during growth while polar and phospholipids declined. Both moulds contained palmitic, oleic, linoleic and palmitoleic acids as major fatty acid components in lipids. Degree of unsaturation of lipids of A. alabamensis was greater than that of T. indicae-seudaticae. Neutral lipids were more unsaturated than the polar lipids. The ratio of unsaturation index of polar lipids to neutral lipids was either one or less than one. The principal phospholipids of these moulds were phosphatidyl choline, phosphatidyl ethanolamine and phosphatidic acid. However, phosphatidic acid was not found in very high amounts as observed in Humicola grisea var. thermoidea.  相似文献

This investigation was conducted to observe changes in the fatty acid distributions of glycolipids (GL) and phospholipids (PL) in cotyledons of soybean seeds which were germinated either in the dark or the light at 28°C for 8 days. The GL isolated from the total lipids of cotyledons at different germinating stages were : acyl sterylglycoside (ASG), monogalactosyl diglyceride (MGD), digalactosyl diglyceride (DGD) and sulfolipid (SL). The PL isolated from the same total lipids as described above were : diphosphatidyl glycerol (DPG), phosphatidic acid (PA), phosphatidyl ethanolamine (PE), phosphatidyl glycerol (PG), phosphatidyl choline (PC) and phosphatidyl inositol (PI).

During germination of soybean seeds, the content of linoleic and linolenic acids in MGD or DGD was markedly higher than that of the other GL. The positional distribution of fatty acids in PE, PC and PI was shown in all PL, in which saturated fatty acids, especially palmitic acid, were highly concentrated in position 1 and unsaturated fatty acids, especially linoleic acid, mainly occupied position 2. A remarkable difference in the changing patterns of fatty acid composition, which depended on the germinating conditions tested, was observed between GL and PL. The changes in fatty acid composition of GL were more marked in the light-grown seedlings than in the dark-grown, whereas those of PL were more remarkable in the latter than in the former. Therefore, the positional distribution of fatty acids in PL was more evident in the light-grown seedlings than in the dark-grown ones.

These results suggest the metabolic fate of GL and PL in cotyledons of soybean seeds, probably owing to the differences in the two germinating conditions tested.  相似文献

Cell suspension cultures of Catharanthus roseus were used to study the effect of temperature on plant cell lipids and indole alkaloid accumulation. Lowering the cultivation temperature increased the total fatty acid content per cell dry weight relative to that at higher temperatures, mainly because of increased accumulation of unsaturated C18 acids. In addition, an increase in the relative proportion of phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine was observed. Within individual lipids, the degree of unsaturation was increased and the mean fatty acid chain length decreased with reducing temperature. These changes may be interpreted as modifying the cell membrane fluidity to keep it optimal for growth and metabolism at each temperature. In spite of membrane modifications, the indole alkaloid content of the cells or the medium was not affected by temperature change.Abbreviations 2,4-D 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - PC phosphatidylcholine - PE phosphatidylethanolamine - PI phosphatidylinositol - PS phosphatidylserine - PG phosphatidylglycerol - CL cardiolipin - DGD digalactosyldiglyceride - MGD monogalactosyldiglyceride - NL neutral lipids - DU degree of fatty acid unsaturation - TLC thin-layer chromatography - FID-GC flame ionisation detector-gas chromatography - dw dry weight  相似文献

The fatty-acid composition of polar lipids from fruit and leaf chloroplasts was compared in five Solanaceous and two cucurbit species. The acylated fatty acids in monogalactosyl diglycerides (MGDG) from leaf chloroplasts of all five Solanaceous species included substantial amounts of 7,10,13-hexadecatrienoic acid (16:3). In contrast, the MGDG from fruit chloroplasts of the Solanaceae contained very little of this plastid-specific polyunsaturate, and instead included a proportionately greater percentage of linoleic acid (18:2). In MGDG from leaf chloroplasts of two cucurbits, -linolenic acid (18:3) constituted 94–95% of the acylated fatty acids. Fruit-chloroplast galactolipids of the cucurbits had a greater abundance of 18:2, and hence a higher 18:2/18:3 ratio, than found in the corresponding leaf lipids. Among the phosphoglycerides, the unusual fatty acid 3-trans-hexadecenoate (trans-16:1) constituted from 15 to 24% of the acylated fatty acids in phosphatidyl glycerol (PG) from leaf chloroplasts (all species). In sharp contrast, trans-16:1 was virtually absent in PG from fruit chloroplasts of both Solanaceous and cucurbit species, and was replaced by a proportionate increase in the content of palmitate (16:0). The observed differences in the polar lipid fatty-acid composition of fruit and leaf chloroplasts are discussed in terms of the relative activity of several intrachloroplastic enzymes involved in lipid synthesis and fatty-acyl desaturation.Abbreviations MGDG monogalactosyldiglyceride - DGDG digalactosyl diglyceride - PC phosphatidyl choline - PE phosphatidyl ethanolamine - PG phosphatidyl glycerol  相似文献

Cells of Sulfolobus acidocaldarius contain about 2.5% total lipid on a dry-weight basis. Total lipid was found to contain 10.5% neutral lipid, 67.6% glycolipid, and 21.7% polar lipid. The lipids contained C(40)H(80) isopranol glycerol diethers. Almost no fatty acids were present. The glycolipids were composed of about equal amounts of the glycerol diether analogue of glucosyl galactosyl diglyceride and a glucosyl polyol glycerol diether. The latter compound contained an unidentified polyol attached by an ether bond to the glycerol diether. The polar lipids contained a small amount of sulfolipid, which appeared to be the monosulfate derivative of glucosyl polyol glycerol diether. About 40% of the lipid phosphorus was found in the diether analogue of phosphatidyl inositol. The remaining lipid phosphorus was accounted for by approximately equal amounts of two inositol monophosphate-containing phosphoglycolipids, inositolphosphoryl glucosyl galactosyl glycerol diether and inositolphosphoryl glucosyl polyol glycerol diether.  相似文献

The intensitive investigations on the lipid profile of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans at various culture ages suggest some correlations of the lipid constitutents with the membrane-bound iron oxidation system. Phosphatidic acid, phosphatidyl serine and phosphatidyl ethanolamine were the major polar components; hydrocarbon, triglyceride and diglyceride were the main neutral components. Major fatty acids were C16:0, C16:1, C16:3, C18:1, C18:3, C22:1 while C20:1, C20:2, C12:0, C14:2, C18:0, C18:2, C20:0, C22:0 were found in trace amounts which also depended upon the phase of the growth. One lipoamino acid was identified as ornithine lipid in the polar fraction. Each and every component varied to some extent at different growth phasesindicating relationship of these lipids to the iron oxidation system of the strain.  相似文献

An in vivo method of labelling lipid fractions in developing seeds of Brassica campestris using [1–14C] acetate has been developed. The “wick” method for introducing label into the intact plant is quite effective, safe and easy to use. The results obtained were reproducible and comparable to those reported earlier for seeds procured from greenhouse grown plants. The labelling pattern showed that rapid oil deposition began around 20 days after anthesis (DAA) and continued until about 45 DAA. The proportion of label in polar lipids declined and that in non-polar lipids increased during the phase of active oil synthesis. Among phospholipids, the label was incorporated mainly in phosphatidyl choline (PC), which was found to be the major fraction of phospholipids. During development, the two galactolipids i.e. monogalactosyl diglyceride (MGDG) and digalactosyl diglyceride (DGDG) followed patterns exactly opposite to each other. The content of the label in MGDG decreased, while that in DGDG increased, indicating the conversion of MGDG to DGDG during maturation.  相似文献

Investigations on heat resistance of spinach leaves   总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4  
Exposure of spinach plants to high temperature (35° C) increased the heat resistance of the leaves by about 3° C. This hardening process occurred within 4 to 6 h, whereas dehardening at 20°/15° C required 1 to 2 days. At 5° C dehardening did not take place. Hardening and dehardening occurred in both the dark and the light. The hardiness was tested by exposure of the leaves to heat stress and subsequent measurements of chlorophyll fluorescence induction and light-induced absorbance changes at 535 nm on the leaves and of the photosynthetic electron transport in thylakoids isolated after heat treatment. Heat-induced damage to both heat-hardened and non-hardened leaves seemed to consist primarily in a breakdown of the membrane potential of the thylakoids accompanied by partial inactivation of electron transport through photosystem II. The increase in heat resistance was not due to temperature-induced changes in lipid content and fatty acid composition of the thylakoids, and no conspicuous changes in the polypeptide composition of the membranes were observed. Prolonged heat treatment at 35° C up to 3 days significantly decreased the total lipid content and the degree of unsaturation of the fatty acids of membrane lipids without further increase in the thermostability of the leaves. Intact chloroplasts isolated from heat-hardened leaves retained increased heat resistance. When the stroma of the chloroplasts was removed, the thermostability of the thylakoids was decreased and was comparable to the heat resistance of chloroplast membranes obtained from non-hardened control plants. Compartmentation studies demonstrated that the content of soluble sugars within the chloroplasts and the whole leaf tissue decreased as heat hardiness increased. This indicated that in spinach leaves, sugars play no protective role in heat hardiness. The results suggest that changes in the ultrastructure of thylakoids in connection with a stabilizing effect of soluble non-sugar stroma compounds are responsible for acclimatization of the photosynthetic apparatus to high temperature conditions. Changes in the chemical composition of the chloroplast membranes did not appear to play a role in the acclimatization.Abbreviations DGDG digalactosyl diglyceride - MGDG monogalactosyl diglyceride - PG phosphatidyl glycerol - PGA 3-phosphoglyceric acid Dedicated to Professor Wilhelm Simonis, Würzburg, on the occasion of his 70th birthday  相似文献

Lipid synthesis has been studied in the dimorphic fungus Candida albicans. 14C-acetate incorporation into lipid material was used to measure new lipid synthesis in two cultures in which either yeast or mycelial growth was initiated from stationary phase yeast cells. When resuspended in fresh medium at 37 °C, cells resume growth and change morphology while at 30 °C cells resume budding growth. When resuspended at the appropriate temperature, both yeast and germ tube cultures immediately incorporated 14C-acetate into lipid material. The labeled lipid was more or less evenly divided between neutral and phospholipid. Phosphatidyl choline was the major phospholipid fraction and along with phosphatidyl ethanolamine accounted for 60–65 % of the total phospholipid. Lipid synthesis during growth initiation of either morphology showed a similar pattern, with no significant differences observed in neutral or phospholipid or phospholipid components between yeast and mycelial forms.  相似文献

Lipid composition of Mycoplasma neurolyticum   总被引:6,自引:4,他引:2  
The total lipid content of Mycoplasma neurolyticum comprises about 14% of the dry weight of the organisms and is about equally distributed between the phospholipid and the neutral-glycolipid fractions. The neutral lipids were identified as triglycerides, diglycerides, and cholesterol. The glycolipid fraction contained 1-O-beta-glucopyranosyl-d-2,3-diglyceride and 1-[O-beta-d-glycopyranosyl-(1-->6)-O-beta-d-glucopyranosyl]-d-2,3-diglyceride. The latter lipid is structurally identical to the diglucosyl diglyceride which occurs in Staphylococcus aureus. The phospholipids of the organism consist of a fully acylated glycerophosphoryl-glycerophosphoryl glycerol, phosphatidic acid, diphosphatidyl glycerol, phosphatidyl glycerol, and amino acyl esters of phosphatidyl glycerol. Phosphatidic acid and phosphatidyl glycerol account for greater than 90% of the phospholipids of organisms in the exponential phase of growth. The predominant fatty acids found in all of the acyl lipids were palmitic, stearic, and oleic acids.  相似文献

Primary leaves of Phaseolus vulgaris show concomitant changes in phospholipid, galactolipid, chlorophyll and fresh weight during leaf development from 3 to 32 days after planting. Phosphatidyl choline, phosphatidyl ethanolamine, and phosphatidyl inositol show only small changes on a mole per cent lipid phosphate basis during leaf development. The chloroplast lipids, phosphatidyl glycerol, monogalactosyl diglyceride (MGDG) and digalactosyl diglyceride (DGDG) all show marked increases and decreases which are coincident with chloroplast development. The decline in the leaf content of chloroplast polar lipids and chlorophyll become evident upon reaching maximal leaf size. The molar ratio of galactolipids (MGDG/DGDG), reaches a maximum value of 2.3 in expanding leaves, but steadily declines during senescence to a minimum value of 1.5 at abscission. The declining ratio is caused by a preferential loss of MGDG in the senescing leaves.  相似文献

SYNOPSIS Fatty acids were examined of photosynthetic and non-photosynthetic marine and freshwater cryptomonads cultured as photoauxotrophs, photoheterotrophs and heterotrophs at various incubation temperatures and constant light intensity. Photo-synthetic marine and freshwater forms contained octadecatrienoic, octadecatetraenoic, eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic (all-cis, ω3 acids) as the major polyunsaturates, and a freshwater heterotroph contained mostly the octadecatrienoic acid. The polar lipids of a marine, photosynthetic form, Cryptomonas sp., included the usual thylakoid membrane lipids of the chloroplasts of eukaryotic, photosynthetic cells: galactosyl diglycerides, phosphatidyl glycerol and a sulfolipid. Also present were 2 choline-containing phospholipids: phosphatidyl choline and an unknown. Ninhydrin-positive and inositol-containing lipids were not detected. Octadecatetraenoic acid comprised 75% of the total fatty acids of the monogalactosyl diglyceride fraction. The phosphatidyl glycerol was acylated mostly by ω13 trans-hexadecaenoic acid and the eicosapentaenoic acid. Evolutionary relationships of cryptomonads as mirrored in lipid composition are discussed.  相似文献
