Abstract

In the lower eukaryote, Saccharomyces cerevisiae,the inositol-containing ceramides inositolphosphate ceramide (IPC), mannosyl inositolphosphate ceramide (MIPC) and mannosyl diinositolphosphate ceramide (M(IP)2C) were shown to be the major sphingolipids (Wagner & Zofcsik, 1966; Steiner et al., 1969; Smith & Lester, 1974).
