TLDR
Phospholipid synthesis, interconversion and breakdown in T. rubrum were followed by radioactive tracer, and their conversions to phosphatidyl choline and phosph atidyl inositol are suspected.Abstract:
Phospholipid synthesis, interconversion and breakdown in T. rubrum were followed by radioactive tracer. Synthesis and catabolism of phosphatidyl ethanolamine and phosphatidyl serine are most rapid; phosphatidyl choline and phosphatidyl inositol are metabolised rather slowly. Catabolism of phosphatidyl ethanolamine and phosphatidyl serine are uniform and their conversions to phosphatidyl choline and phosphatidyl inositol are suspected.read more

Lipid Metabolism in Fungi
A Chopra,G K Khuller +1 more
TL;DR: The present review will bring out the differences or similarities of lipid metabolism in diverse fungal species and each section will deal, comparatively, with various aspects of fungal lipid metabolism and physiology.

Lipolytic enzymes of Trichophyton rubrum
S.K. Das,A.B. Banerjee +1 more
TL;DR: Supernatant obtained after removal of 1,005,000 g sedimentable fragments from cell extract contains acyl CoA lysolecithin acyl transferase which requires ATP, CoA, Mg2+ and an unsaturated fatty acid for its activity.

Lipids of dermatophytes
TL;DR: Phosphatides and fatty acid content of Epidermophyton floccosum, Microsporum cookie and Trichophyton mentagrophytes during different phases of growth decreased with age, which was reflected in constituent major phosphatides.

Effect of undecanoic acid on phospholipid metabolism in Trichophyton rubrum
S.K. Das,A.B. Banerjee +1 more
TL;DR: At its minimum inhibitory concentration, undecanoic acid (UDA) inhibits biosynthesis of phosphatidyl serine, phosph atidyl ethanolamine and polyphosphoinositol but does not inhibit the synthesis of phosphatin, so it may be partially responsible for its toxic action on Trichophyton rubrum.

Thin Layer Chromatography
TL;DR: The idea of using a chromatographic adsorbent in the form of a thin layer fixed on an inert rigid support seems to have been suggested by Izmailov and Shraiber in 1938.

Phospholipids of Trichophyton rubrum.
S.K. Das,A.B. Banerjee +1 more
TL;DR: Trichophyton rubrum grown in Sabouraud's liquid medium contains phosphatidyl inositol, polyphosphatids inositols, and the relative proportion of these components in total phospholipid fraction remains almost constant throughout the culture life of this fungus.

Incorporation of 32P-orthophosphate into phospholipids by a toxigenic and a nontoxigenic strain of Aspergillus flavus.
TL;DR: The incorporation of32P-orthophosphate into phospholipids by a toxigenic and a nontoxigenic strain of Aspergillus flavus was compared on a glucose-salts medium and a sucrose-yeast extract medium and the highest specific activities were found in phosphatidyl choline and phosph atidyl ethanolamine.
