Fig. 3From: Comparing polysaccharide decomposition between the type strains Gramella echinicola KMM 6050T (DSM 19838T) and Gramella portivictoriae UST040801-001T (DSM 23547T), and emended description of Gramella echinicola Nedashkovskaya et al. 2005 emend. Shahina et al. 2014 and Gramella portivictoriae Lau et al. 2005Polar lipids profiles of G. echinicola DSM 19838T and G. portivictoriae DSM 23547T. The polar lipids were extracted using a modified method of Bligh and Dyer [55] (see Tindall [56]) and separated by two-dimensional thin-layer chromatography using the solvents chloroform/methanol/water (65:2:4, by vol.) in the first dimension and chloroform/methanol/acetic acid/water (80:12:15:4, by vol.) in the second dimension at 25 °C, as described by Tindall et al. [21]. For identification of the total polar lipids plates were sprayed with molybdatophosphoric acid (5 % in ethanol) and specific spray reagents used to detect the functional head groups of the lipids, as described by Tindall et al. [21]. PE, phosphatidylethanolamine (blue, phospholipid); AL, amino lipid (yellow, amino lipid); L, polar lipidBack to article page
