Abstract
Ochromonas danica (Chrysophyceae) contains two major membrane lipids first described as lipids A and B (Nichols and Appleby 1969). Lipid A was subsequently identified as the betaine lipid diacylglyceryl-(N,N,N-trimethyl)homoserine (DGTS) which is widely distributed among cryptogamic green plants, while the structure of lipid B had not been elucidated so far.
