Abstract
Total lipids were extracted from A. thaliana plant tissue and differential hydrolysis was utilized to determine the presence of sphingolipids. Silicic acid chromatography was utilized to separate lipids based upon their polarity, and fatty acid methyl esters were prepared from isolated A. thaliana sphingolipids. Gas chromatography and mass spectrometry were used to analyze the fatty acid content of the isolated sphingolipids. It was determined that the A. thaliana sphingolipids contained 16:0 and 18:0 fatty acids. The isolation and characterization scheme employed in this study will be used to investigate the sphingolipid fatty acid content of A. thaliana in the future.
