Cellular fatty acid composition of marine-derived fungi

摘要: The present study quantifies cellular fatty acid composition of four filamentous, marine fungi viz. Trichoderma pseudokoningii, Curvularia lunata, Penicillium chrysogenum and Aspergillus niveus. These were isolated from different sources mass cultured in the laboratory using organic media. Fatty acids quantified as methyl esters gas chromatography (GC), WICHROM software data collector. This efficient approach a computer modelled program provides optimized ester (FAME) analyses. principal recorded these cultures oleic (18:1 n-9), linoleic (18:2 n-6), palmitic (16:0), stearic (18:0), behenic (22:0), lignoceric (24:0), α-linolenic (18:3 n-3), arachidic (20:0), myristic (14:0) lauric (12:0) decreasing order abundance. Unsaturated varied between 57.86% 85.23% while saturated 14.12% 41.26% respectively total acids. specific to above mentioned can be used biomarkers for taxonomic purposes. High concentrations C18 PUFAs n-6 18:1 n-9) together with relatively high like (16:0) (18:0) accompanied by minor (12:0), (14:0), n-3) may reliable cultures. α-Linolenic acid, which is an economically important omega-3 polyunsaturated was produced less than 1% all test However, T. pseudokoningii (0.58%) P. (0.68%) taken up manipulation increase concentration PUFAs.
