Six species of green algae were grown autotrophically, photohetrotrophically, and heterotrophically and their fatty acid and sterol compositions determined. Sterol composition was higher in autotrophic than in heterotrophic plants by a factor of from 2 to over 20 in five of the six species studied. Relative amounts of various sterols did not change significantly with cultural conditions. In five of the species studied, autotrophic growth produced a significant increase in the relative proportion of linolenic acid compared to that in heterotrophic or photoheterotrophic growth. This increase was usually accompanied by a corresponding decrease in oleic or linoleic acids or both. 相似文献

In algae, the biosynthesis of docosahexaenoic acid (22:6omega3; DHA) proceeds via the elongation of eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5omega3; EPA) to 22:5omega3, which is required as a substrate for the final Delta4 desaturation. To isolate the elongase specific for this step, we searched expressed sequence tag and genomic databases from the algae Ostreococcus tauri and Thalassiosira pseudonana, from the fish Oncorhynchus mykiss, from the frog Xenopus laevis, and from the sea squirt Ciona intestinalis using as a query the elongase sequence PpPSE1 from the moss Physcomitrella patens. The open reading frames of the identified elongase candidates were expressed in yeast for functional characterization. By this, we identified two types of elongases from O. tauri and T. pseudonana: one specific for the elongation of (Delta6-)C18-PUFAs and one specific for (Delta5-)C20-PUFAs, showing highest activity with EPA. The clones isolated from O. mykiss, X. laevis, and C. intestinalis accepted both C18- and C20-PUFAs. By coexpression of the Delta6- and Delta5-elongases from T. pseudonana and O. tauri, respectively, with the Delta5- and Delta4-desaturases from two other algae we successfully implemented DHA synthesis in stearidonic acid-fed yeast. This may be considered an encouraging first step in future efforts to implement this biosynthetic sequence into transgenic oilseed crops. 相似文献

1. Analyses of zooplankton fatty acid (FA) composition in laboratory experiments and samples collected from lakes in New Zealand spanning a wide gradient of productivity were used to assess the extent to which FAs might infer their diet. We used the cladocerans, Daphnia and Ceriodaphnia, and the calanoid copepod, Boeckella, as test organisms, and monocultures of cryptophytes, chlorophytes and cyanobacteria as food. Based on reproductive success, cryptophytes were the highest food quality, chlorophytes were intermediate and cyanobacteria the poorest. 2. Several FA groups were highly correlated between zooplankton and their diets. They were monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs), and ω3 and ω6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) for cladocerans, and saturated fatty acids (SAFAs) and ω3 PUFAs for copepods. Several FAs varied significantly less in the zooplankton than in their monoculture diets, e.g. MUFAs in Daphnia, and ω3 and ω6 PUFAs in Ceriodaphnia, despite clear dietary dependency for these FAs. 3. Zooplankton collected from lakes in New Zealand had more eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) (Daphnia), more highly unsaturated ω3 and ω6 FAs (C20, C22; Daphnia, Ceriodaphnia, Boeckella) and less ω3 C18 PUFAs (Daphnia, Ceriodaphnia, Boeckella) and ω6 C18 PUFAs (Daphnia, Ceriodaphnia) than measured in the same species reared on phytoplankton in the laboratory. 4. Analyses of FA composition of seston and freshwater zooplankton globally showed that, in general, zooplankton had a significantly higher proportion of arachidonic acid and EPA than seston, and copepods also had a higher percentage of docosahexaenoic acid than seston. 5. These results suggest that zooplankton selectively incorporate the most physiologically important FAs. This could be a consequence of preferential assimilation, selective feeding on more nutritious cells or locating and feeding within higher food quality food patches. 相似文献

A detailed characterization is presented of the spring diatom bloom which occurred in the enclosed experimental ecosystem bags at Loch Ewe, Scotland, during March–April 1983. The nutrient condition and bacterial biomass of the water column, phytoplankton species distribution, gross biochemical composition and detailed lipid composition (lipid class, fatty acid and free sterol) of the phytoplankton are reported throughout the bloom period. The results are compared with results from previous years. The conclusions are that major changes take place in the biochemical composition of a rapidly growing diatom population which affect both the gross composition and also the more detailed lipid composition. Such changes can take place over a matter of days and appear to be very dependent upon available growth conditions. Both carbohydrate and lipids levels increase towards the end of the bloom as nitrate and silicate levels are depleted in the water. Neutral lipids are shown to be important lipid components of the phytoplankton populations and long-chain ω3 polyunsaturated fatty acids are found to be only minor components of the structural polar lipids. The fatty acid and sterol data are discussed in relation to present knowledge concerning phytoplankton lipid composition. 相似文献

硅藻Nitzschia laevis是EPA很好的替代来源。除了对硅藻进行高密度培养外,EPA的产量还能利用除草剂来提高。本文研究了除草剂精喹禾灵对硅藻的生长和产EPA的影响。DMSO作为除草剂的溶剂,会对硅藻的生长造成抑制,DMSO在培养基中的添加量最好不要超过0.2%。除草剂能对硅藻的细胞形态造成损害,随着除草剂浓度的增加,硅藻的产量减低了,但脂质和EPA的含量提高了。当除草剂浓度为0.1mmol/L时,EPA的含量从3.00%增加到3.58%,提高了19.3%,EPA占总脂肪酸的含量也由25.15%提高到了32.88%。实验表明,除草剂精喹禾灵能促进硅藻EPA的积累,因而在筛选过量产生EPA微藻方面有重要用途。 相似文献

Objective: To assess the interaction of high‐fat diets (HF) made with different dietary fatty acids and exercise on body‐weight regulation, adiposity, and metabolism. Research Methods and Procedures: Male Wistar rats born to dams fed HF diets (40% w/w) made with either fish oil (FO), soybean oil (SO), or palm oil (PO) were fed diets similar to their dams and divided randomly into exercise (EX, swimming) or sedentary control (SD) groups when they were 9 weeks old. EX lasted for 6 weeks. Twenty‐four hours after the last EX bout, fasted rats were killed by decapitation. Chemical analyses and body composition analysis were conducted. Results: The results demonstrated that different fatty acids had different effects on body weight, composition, and metabolism. SO‐fed rats gained the most weight and fat. EX reduced body weight of FO‐ and PO‐fed rats, but SO‐fed rats were still heavier and fatter than other rats. Data from SO‐ and PO‐fed rats suggested that they are insulin resistant and that EX normalized this abnormality. Of the three HF diets used, FO produced the least adverse effects compared with PO and SO. Discussion: Not only the quantity of dietary fat, but also the type of fat used, will produce different effects on body weight and metabolism. EX ameliorates the suggested insulin resistance induced in rats fed either highly saturated or n‐6 polyunsaturated fatty acids. Long‐chain n‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, as found in fish oil, are more beneficial than n‐6 polyunsaturated fatty acids when fed in high amounts to rats. 相似文献

Nine sterols, most showing Δ5- or Δ5,22-unsaturation, were identified in the marine diatom Biddulphia sinensis. One sterol, cholesta-5,22E-dien-3β-ol, comprised 70–80% of the total sterols which is the first such predominance noted in a diatom. The only Δ7-sterol detected was cholest-7-en-3β-ol and this was a very minor component. A sterol showing unusual side-chain alkylation,23,24-dimethylcholesta-5,22E-dien-3β-ol, was identified for the first time in a diatom. Total fatty acids exhibited a predominance of Δ9- 16:1, 14:0, 20:5 and 16:0, typical of diatoms, although the proportions of these acids were found to vary with culture maturity. n-Heneicosahexaene was the major hydrocarbon together with a small amount of squalene. 相似文献

ABSTRACT Eight taxa of the Dipsacaceae family were examined for their fatty acid and sterol composition. Separation and identification of the lipid fraction was achieved by gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The phenotypic differences among taxa were established by cluster analysis. Correlation coefficients were obtained to investigate numerical relationships among constituents of the fatty acids. The results showed many significant correlations between different constituents, as well as four clusters of taxa using two linkage types of clustering. 相似文献

The purpose of this work was to study plasma, adipose tissue, and liver fatty acids percentages of Wistar rats that drank
water supplemented with several levels of sodium selenite for 1, 3, and 6 mo. In a general way, percentages of saturated,
monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fatty acids of supplemented groups were not different from those obtained with nontreated
animals in the analyzed tissues. However, in rats supplemented with 0.5 ppm Se, mainly in adipose tissue, a polyunsaturated
fatty acids increase (p<0.005) was observed for all times of treatment. This could suggest that 0.5 ppm Se supplement probably exercises a protective
role on polyunsaturated fatty acids in that tissue. Supplements of 6.0, 15.0, and 54.0 ppm Se did not change unsaturation
levels of fatty acids in the analyzed tissues. 相似文献

The study was carried out on 42 breeder couples (42 males and 42 females) of European brown hare (Lepus europaeus), divided into three groups fed three different experimental diets (14 couples/treatment). Two diets were supplemented with n-3 and n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs; 2% of linseed oil and soybean oil, respectively) and were compared with a control diet supplemented with a monounsaturated fatty acids (2% of olive oil). During the experimental period (from 15 April to 30 September), the following parameters were recorded: days from the beginning of trial to the first parturition, parturition interval, number of parturitions, number of leverets born (alive and dead), dead during suckling, the total number of leverets weaned and feed intake per cage (of males, females and leverets until weaning). Feed intake was not influenced by treatments. In hares fed n-3 and n-6 diets, the days from the beginning of the trial to the first parturition and the parturition interval were similar and were lower compared with control group (63.1 v. 70.6 days, and 37.8 v. 40.9 days, respectively; P < 0.05). Hares from n-6 group had a higher (P < 0.05) number of parturitions per cage during the experimental period than the n-3 and control group that showed a similar value (3.00 v. 2.36, respectively). The total number of leverets born per cage and parturition in n-6 and n-3 groups increased with respect to those fed control diet (P < 0.05). The leverets' mortality rate at birth was higher in n-6 than in n-3 and control group (3.50 v. 2.17, respectively; P < 0.05). In control group, leverets' mortality rate during suckling was lower with respect to n-3 (P < 0.05) and n-6 (P < 0.05), showing the highest value for the latter (P < 0.05). In spite of this higher mortality, the number of leverets weaned per cage and parturition was higher (P < 0.05) in n-6 compared with n-3 group, being the latter higher than the control group (3.12, 2.79 and 2.43, respectively). Our results show that the dietary PUFAs, particularly n-6 supplementation, have a positive influence on the reproductive performances of the European brown hare. 相似文献

The conversion of [14C]20:4(n?6) and [14C]20:5(n?3) to prostaglandins was measured in homogenates of gills, liver and intestine of the turbot, Scophthalmus maximus (L.). Incorporation of radioactivity into prostaglandins was similar to or greater than into phospholipids, with gills being more active than liver or intestine. When measured at equimolar concentrations, 20:4(n?6) was a better precursor of prostaglandins than 20:5(n?3). Incorporation of 20:4(n?6) into prostaglandins was decreased in the presence of an equimolar concentration of 20:5(n?3), and vice versa. Incorporation of both precursors into prostaglandins was partially inhibited by aspirin and indomethacin. The results are discussed in relation to prostaglandin formation in fish and the abundance of (n?3) polyunsaturated fatty acids in marine lipids generally. 相似文献

The objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of fish oil supplementation on performance and muscle fatty acid composition of hill lambs finished on grass-based or concentrate-based diets, and to examine the interaction with selenium (Se) status. In September 2006, 180 entire male lambs of mixed breeds were sourced from six hill farms after weaning and finished on five dietary treatments: grazed grass (GG), grass +0.4 kg/day cereal-based concentrate (GC), grass +0.4 kg/day cereal-based concentrate enriched with fish oil (GF), ad libitum cereal-based concentrate (HC) and ad libitum fish oil-enriched concentrate (HF). Within each treatment, half of the lambs were also supplemented with barium selenate by subcutaneous injection. At the start of the trial, the proportion of lambs with a marginal (<0.76 μmol/l) or deficient (<0.38 μmol/l) plasma Se status was 0.84 and 0.39, respectively. Compared with control lambs, GG lambs treated with Se had higher (P < 0.01) plasma Se levels, whereas erythrocyte glutathione peroxidase activity was higher (P < 0.01) for Se-supplemented lambs fed diets GG and GF. However, Se supplementation had no effects on any aspect of animal performance. Fish oil increased (P < 0.05) levels of 22:5n-3 and 22:6n-3 in the Longissimus dorsi of HF lambs but otherwise had no effect on the health attributes of lamb meat. There were no significant effects of fish oil on dry matter intake, animal performance or lamb carcass characteristics. Daily carcass weight gain (CWG; P < 0.001), carcass weight (P < 0.01) and conformation score (P < 0.01) increased with increasing concentrate inputs. Lambs fed concentrate-based diets achieved a higher mean CWG (P < 0.001), dressing proportion (P < 0.001) and carcass weight (P < 0.011), and were slaughtered up to 8.3 days earlier (P < 0.05) and at 1.2 kg lower (P < 0.05) live weight than pasture-fed lambs. However, carcasses from grass-fed lambs contained lower levels of perinephric and retroperitoneal fat (P < 0.05), and had less fat over the Iliocostalis thoracis (P < 0.001) and Obliquus internus abdominis (P < 0.05). Meat from grass-fed lambs also had lower levels of 18:2n-6 and total n-6 fatty acids compared with those finished indoors. The results of this study demonstrate that fish oil supplementation has some benefits for the health attributes of meat from lambs fed concentrate-based diets but not grass-based diets. Supplementing Se-deficient lambs with barium selenate will improve Se status of lambs fed zero-concentrate diets, but has no additional benefit when lambs are already consuming their daily Se requirement from concentrates or when fish oil-enriched diets are fed. 相似文献

Depression may be associated with impaired membrane PUFA composition, especially decreased n-3 PUFA. This assumption has not been tested at the level of brain tissue. Moreover, most studies were confounded by dietary variability. We examined the FA composition of selected brain areas in an animal model of depression, the Flinders Sensitive Line (FSL) rat, and compared the findings with those in controls fed identical diets. In all brain regions studied, the concentration of arachidonic acid (AA) was significantly higher in the FSL rats: in the hypothalamus by 21%, in the nucleus accumbens by 24%, in the prefrontal cortex by 31%, and in the striatum by 23%. No significant differences were observed for n-3 PUFA or for the saturated and monounsaturated FAs. Our results confirm the existence of altered brain PUFA composition in an animal model of depression. The finding of increased AA, an n-6 PUFA, rather than decreased n-3 PUFA, emphasizes the importance of both PUFA families in the pathophysiological processes underlying depression. The FSL rat is a useful tool for further elucidation of the FA disturbances in depression. 相似文献

Exogenous ergosterol and cholesterol were found to affect the growth and lipogenesis of the oomycete fungusPythium debaryanum, which is unable to synthesize de novo steroid compounds. These sterols stimulated the growth of the fungus during its submerged
cultivation in glucose-peptone medium. This was accompanied by the shortening of the lag phase, the lengthening of the period
of active growth, and by a 3.7-or 4.3-fold increase in the maximum biomass in response to the addition of ergosterol or cholesterol,
respectively. In the presence of ergosterol, the cellular content of polyenoic fatty acids increased, and the relative content
of eicosapolyenoic fatty acids reached 31.4% of the total amount of fatty acids in cells. Conversely, cholesterol decreased
the cellular content of polyenoic acids, and the relative content of eicosapolyenoic acids fell to 19.6% of the total amount
of fatty acids. It may be inferred that exogenous sterols enhance the yield of pharmacologically active polyenoic acids because
of the growth stimulation. 相似文献

Eutrophication and rising water temperature in freshwaters may increase the total production of a lake while simultaneously reducing the nutritional quality of food web components. We evaluated how cyanobacteria blooms, driven by agricultural eutrophication (in eutrophic Lake Köyliöjärvi) or global warming (in mesotrophic Lake Pyhäjärvi), influence the biomass and structure of phytoplankton, zooplankton, and fish communities. In terms of the nutritional value of food web components, we evaluated changes in the ω‐3 and ω‐6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) of phytoplankton and consumers at different trophic levels. Meanwhile, the lakes did not differ in their biomasses of phytoplankton, zooplankton, and fish communities, lake trophic status greatly influenced the community structures. The eutrophic lake, with agricultural eutrophication, had cyanobacteria bloom throughout the summer months whereas cyanobacteria were abundant only occasionally in the mesotrophic lake, mainly in early summer. Phytoplankton community differences at genus level resulted in higher arachidonic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) content of seston in the mesotrophic than in the eutrophic lake. This was also reflected in the EPA and DHA content of herbivorous zooplankton (Daphnia and Bosmina) despite more efficient trophic retention of these biomolecules in a eutrophic lake than in the mesotrophic lake zooplankton. Planktivorous juvenile fish (perch and roach) in a eutrophic lake overcame the lower availability of DHA in their prey by more efficient trophic retention and biosynthesis from the precursors. However, the most efficient trophic retention of DHA was found with benthivorous perch which prey contained only a low amount of DHA. Long‐term cyanobacterial blooming decreased the nutritional quality of piscivorous perch; however, the difference was much less than previously anticipated. Our result shows that long‐term cyanobacteria blooming impacts the structure of plankton and fish communities and lowers the nutritional quality of seston and zooplankton, which, however, is mitigated at upper trophic levels. 相似文献

The sterol and fatty acid compositions of fresh leaves of the seagrasses Cymodocea serrulata, Enhalus acoroides, Halodule uninervis, Halophila ovalis, H. ovata, H. spinulosa and Thalassia hemprichii are reported. The major fatty acids were palmitic acid, linoleic acid and linolenic acid as expected. H. ovalis and H. ovata were characterized by the relatively high abundance (ca 5%) of the acid hexadeca-7,10,13-trienoic acid (16:3<7 > ). The sterol compositions were typical of higher plants, with sitosterol and stigmasterol accounting for 60–90% of the observed sterols. 28-Isofucosterol was a major sterol (20–30%) only in the Halophila spp. Cluster analysis of the sterol composition data clearly separated the Halophila spp. from the other seagrasses and enabled the distinction of Enhalus sp. from Cymodocea, Halodule and Thalassia spp. The seagrass species were clearly separated into five chemical groups using the combined fatty acid and sterol composition data and the need for a reappraisal of the taxonomic position of Halophila was indicated. 相似文献
