Extract

It is shown that sulpholipid is the predominant acetone-insoluble lipid of grass, sphagnum moss, Selaginella, and of some blue-green, green and brown algae.

This sulpholipid is separable into three entities by paper chromatography.

Phospholipid predominates over sulpholipid in red algae, fungi and the fluffy pericarp of the broad bean.

The sulpholipid in these plant tissues gives a single spot on paper chromatogram

A relationship between sulpholipids and photosynthesis is suggested.
