Trypomastigotes were metabolically labeled with [3H]-palmitic acid or [3H] -galactose and labeled components were detected in the culture medium. Thin layer chromatography of the shed material showed several lipids in the [3H] -palmitic acid labeled sample while the sugar was mainly incorporated into macromolecules. The material incorporated with the lipidic precursor was fractionated by DEAE-Sephadex (acetate form) and the amount of radioactivity was ten times higher in the acidic lipids than in the neutral lipids. When acidic lipids were further separated by Unisil, 73% of the radioactivity was recovered in the less polar fraction. Different patterns were obtained on comparison of the shed components with the lipids remaining in the parasite.
