“…As is the case for S. paucimobilis [4], S. capsulata is devoid of LPS and is thus the second Gram‐negative bacterium, that replaces LPS in the outer membrane by GSL. Although GSL have recently been found also in Chlorobium limicola [22] and Zymomonas mobilis [23], they cannot be considered as common components of bacterial cells. It is worthy of noting that some other bacteria, such as Bacteroides [24–26], Bdellovibrio [27], Acetobacter [28], Flavobacterium ( Sphingobacterium ) [29], and the aquatic bacteria Arcocella aquatica NO‐502 and Flectobacillus major FM [30] contain sphingolipids as cell constituents.…”

Two glycosphingolipids, GSL-1 and GSL-3, were isolated from Sphingomonas capsulata and studied by methylation analysis, laser desorption mass spectrometry, and 1 H and 13 C NMR spectroscopy, including two-dimensional 1 H, 1 H COSY and heteronuclear 13 C, 1 H COSY experiments. GSL-1 and GSL-3 differ in their carbohydrate part, their structures being a-d-GlcpA-(131)-Cer and a-d-Galp-(136)-a-d-GlcpN-(134)-a-d-GlcpA(131)Cer, respectively. Variations occur in the ceramide of GSL-1 and GSL-3, both having the same long-chain bases, erythro-2-amino-1,3-octadecanediol (sphinganine), (13Z)-erythro-2-amino-13-eicosene-1,3-diol and (13Z)-erythro-2-amino-13,14-methylene-1,3-eicosanediol, in the ratios 2.6 : 1 : 3.5 in GSL-1 and 1 : 1.2 : 1.5 in GSL-3. All bases are quantitatively substituted by amide-linked (S)-2-hydroxymyristic acid.

“…The most abundant sphingosine in the genus Sphingobacterium is a branched-chain methylhexadecasphinganine, d-17:O (7, 63). The glucuronic acid-containing glycosphingolipid of 2. mobilis IF0 13756 has been shown to be similar to the glycosphingolipids of Sphingomonas strains, differing only in the ceramide moieties (54).…”

“…in the Bacteroides group (Kato et al ., 1995), whereas glycosphingolipids are rare among bacteria. Glycosphingolipids were identified in some Gram‐negative bacteria (Kawahara et al ., 1999) and in the fermenting alphaproteobacterium Zymomonas mobilis (Tahara and Kawazu, 1994). Kawahara and colleagues (1999) suggested that the unique cellular properties of glycosphingolipids facilitate the uptake of more hydrophobic substrates such as aromatic hydrocarbons and could thus enhance competitive adaptation for survival in ecological niches.…”

The stratified water column of the Black Sea produces a vertical succession of redox zones, stimulating microbial activity at the interfaces. Our study of intact polar membrane lipids (IPLs) in suspended particulate matter and sediments highlights their potential as biomarkers for assessing the taxonomic composition of live microbial biomass. Intact polar membrane lipids in oxic waters above the chemocline represent contributions of bacterial and eukaryotic photosynthetic algae, while anoxygenic phototrophic bacteria and sulfate-reducing bacteria comprise a substantial amount of microbial biomass in deeper suboxic and anoxic layers. Intact polar membrane lipids such as betaine lipids and glycosidic ceramides suggest unspecified anaerobic bacteria in the anoxic zone. Distributions of polar head groups and core lipids show planktonic archaea below the oxic zone; methanotrophic archaea are only a minor fraction of archaeal biomass in the anoxic zone, contrasting previous observations based on the apolar derivatives of archaeal lipids. Sediments contain algal and bacterial IPLs from the water column, but transport to the sediment is selective; bacterial and archaeal IPLs are also produced within the sediments. Intact polar membrane lipid distributions in the Black Sea are stratified in accordance with geochemical profiles and provide information on vertical successions of major microbial groups contributing to suspended biomass. This study vastly extends our knowledge of the distribution of complex microbial lipids in the ocean.
