The mechanism of synthesis of plasmalogens is not currently known, but the incorporation of labeled phosphate, acetate, fatty acids, and fatty aldehydes into plasmalogens has been described for intact systemsl-B. Such isotopic studies have suggested a variety of pathways leading to the synthesis of plasmalogens. Among these proposed pathways are the dehydrogenation of the alkyl ether bond, the reduction of an acyl ester bond, and the dehydration of the hemiacetal formed by the condensation of a fatty aldehyde and glycerol. In the present study, we have observed the incorporation of labeled glycerol into diacyl phosphoglycerides and alkenyl acyl phosphoglycerides of Clostridium butyricum.C. butyricum (ATCC 6015) was grown anaerobically at 37O in a medium, described by WOLFE AND O’KANE~, containing added salts and using alkaline pyrogallol plugs8 to maintain anaerobic conditions. Cells were collected by centrifugation during mid to late log phase, washed with 0.03 M sodium phosphate (pH 7.0) and resuspended in fresh medium in the presence of labeled glycerol. After incubation at 37”, lipid extracts were prepared as described by GOLDFINE AND BLOCH~.
