Isolation and Structural Elucidation of Hemolysin from the PhytoflagellatePrymnesium parvum

Abstract

Hemolysin in the phytoflagellate Prymnesium parvum was separated into six components by thin layer chromatography. The major component named hemolysin I was isolated and identified as a mixture of l′-O-octadecatetraenoyl-3′-O-(6-O-β-D-galactopyranosyl-β-D-galactopyranosyl)-glycerol (1) and 1′-(O-octadecapentaenoyl-3′-O-(6-O-β-D-galactopyranosyl-β-D-galactopyran-osyl)-glycerol (2).
