The lipids extracted with CHCl(3)/MeOH mixtures from mycelium of the lower filamentous fungus Absidia corymbifera F-295 were found to contain three glycolipids. Based on the IR, 1H and 13C NMR spectra, plasma-desorption ionisation (PDI) mass spectra as well as chemical degradation results, the glycolipids were established to be 1-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-2-N-(2'-D-hydroxyhexadecanoyl)-9-methylsphinga-4(E),8(E)-dienine (glucosyl ceramide) and 2-O-(6'-O-beta-D-galactopyranosyl)-beta-D-galactopyranosides of 2-D-hydroxy and erythro-2,3-dihydroxy fatty acids C(9), C(11), and C(13). They accounted for about 3.4, 0.8, and 0.4%, respectively, of the total lipids extracted. No lipids identical to the above monohydroxy and dihydroxy fatty acid glycosides have been reported.
