Temperature-induced changes in the hydroxy and non-hydroxy fatty acid-containing sphingolipids abundant in the surface membrane of Tetrahymena pyriformis NT-1.

Sphingolipids make up 30 to 40 mole % of the phospholipids found in the surface membrane of Tetrahymena pyriformis NT-1. We have identified the two major classes as non-hydroxy fatty acid-containing ceramide-2-aminoethylphosphonate (NCAEP) and alpha-hydroxy fatty acid-containing ceramide-2-aminoethy...
