The Characterization of a Cerebroside Sulfate from the Mycelia of Glomerella cingulata

A sulfur-containing lipid with chromatographic properties in several systems equal to the commercial sulfolipid (extracted from bovine spinal cord, Applied Science) has been isolated in 0.6 % yield (dry weight basis) from the mycelia of Glomerella cingulata. About 35 % of exogenous Na³⁵SO₄ incubated with the mycelial medium for 72 hours was recovered in the cerebroside sulfate fraction, with only traces of ³⁵S activities in other lipid fractions.
