Cerebrosides were found in ten lactose-assimilating yeasts. Representative component ceramide moieties of cerebrosides from nine of these yeasts contained 9-methyl-4-trans, 8-trans-sphingadienine, and 2-hydroxy fatty acid with carbon chain lengths of 16 or 18. The major ceramide moieties in Brettanomyces anomalus, however, differed from those in other yeasts, and were predominately moieties containing 2-hydroxymyristic acid. Thus we found that various cerebroside molecular species are present in yeasts.
