Phosphatidylcholine (51.2%) and phosphatidyl-ethanolamine (38.3%) are the most abundant phospholipids in the wall-less strain of Neurospora crassa. Insulin treatment exerted no change on the amount of phosphoinositides, although some previous results proved the existence of specific insulin receptors and specific effect of insulin on glucose metabolism in these cells. Long (20 h) treatment with insulin also failed to cause biologically significant changes.
