Thin layer chromatography (TLC) of glycolipids extracted and purified from foam fractionated during cultivation. TLC plates are stained with sulphuric acid. a 3′ hydroxyl lauroleic acid present in fractions 60–62, glycolipids present in fractions 63–65 and myristic as well as myristoleic acids present in fractions 67–69. b TLC of further purified glycolipids from fraction 63–65 resulting in subfractions 63–65 A to 63–65 E with the most hydrophilic glycolipids in 63–65 E containing talose as carbohydrate moieties
