Techniques are described for the semi-preparative isolation of sulfoquinovosyldiacylglycerol from plant leaf tissue lipid extracts and the resolution and analysis of component molecular species. Sulfoquinovosyldiacylglycerol was resolved from phospholipids in a polar lipid fraction by isocratic normal phase HPLC with detection at 208 nm. The mobile phase was composed of heptane-isopropanol-0.001 M KCl 40:52:8 (v/v/v). Yields from spinach leaf lipid extracts were 1.8 mg.10 g-1 fresh wt leaf tissue. Molecular species components of purified sulfoquinovosyldiacylglycerol were separated by reversed-phase C18 HPLC, and fatty acid positional distribution was defined.

D008049	Lipase	An enzyme of the hydrolase class that catalyzes the reaction of triacylglycerol and water to yield diacylglycerol and a fatty acid anion. It is produced by glands on the tongue and by the pancreas and initiates the digestion of dietary fats. (From Dorland, 27th ed) EC 3.1.1.3.

D010743	Phospholipids	Lipids containing one or more phosphate groups, particularly those derived from either glycerol (phosphoglycerides see GLYCEROPHOSPHOLIPIDS) or sphingosine (SPHINGOLIPIDS). They are polar lipids that are of great importance for the structure and function of cell membranes and are the most abundant of membrane lipids, although not stored in large amounts in the system.

D006017	Glycolipids	Any compound containing one or more monosaccharide residues bound by a glycosidic linkage to a hydrophobic moiety such as an acylglycerol (see GLYCERIDES), a sphingoid, a ceramide (CERAMIDES) (N-acylsphingoid) or a prenyl phosphate. (From IUPAC's webpage)	Glycolipid
D012233	Rhizopus	A genus of zygomycetous fungi of the family Mucoraceae, order MUCORALES, a common saprophyte and facultative parasite of mature fruits and vegetables. It may cause cerebral mycoses in diabetes and cutaneous infection in severely burned patients.
D018724	Spinacia oleracea	A widely cultivated plant, native to Asia, having succulent, edible leaves eaten as a vegetable. (From American Heritage Dictionary, 1982)	Spinach
