| Abstract: | It was demonstrated that the fat body of the moth Prodenia eridania contains a system which incorporates acetate into long chain fatty acids. It requires the presence of malonate, ATP, coenzyme A and glutathione or cysteine. Its properties were studied. Small amounts of fatty acids were also synthesized from glucose. The fatty acids formed by the system proved to be predominantly palmitic acid and small quantities of stearic, oleic, myristic and lauric acids. |
