Abstract
Phosphatidylcholin (51.2%) and phosphatidyl-ethanolamine (38.3%) are t he most abundant phospholipids in the wall-less strain of Neurospora c rassa. Insulin treatment exerted no change on the amount of phosphoino sitides, although some previous results proved the existence of specif ic insulin receptors and specific effect of insulin on glucose metabol ism in these cells. Long (20 h) treatment with insulin also failed to cause biologically significant changes.
