Resumo: Neutral lipids were examined from spinner culture cells of two species of mosquitoes, Aedes aegypti and A. albopictus, in exponential and stationary phases of growth. The lipids were separated into constituent classes by thin-layer chromatography. The fatty acid profiles of the methyl esters of each class were determined by gas-liquid chromatography. There were changes in the fatty acid profiles and increases in the amount of polyenes in the 1,2- and 1,3-diglycerides, free fatty acids, and triglyceride fractions with aging of the mosquito cells. The sterol ester fraction was similar at the exponential phase of growth in both Aedes cells. Changes occurred in the fatty acid profiles, and there was a decrease in polyenes from the exponential to the stationary phase of growth.
