Fatty acid and phospholipid composition of five psychrotrophic Pseudomonas spp. grown at different temperatures

Abstract: The free fatty acid and phospholipid composition of 5 psychrotrophic marine Pseudomonas spp. have been determined in chemostat culture with glucose as the limiting substrate over the range 0--20 degrees C. The predominant fatty acid present in all the isolates was hexadecenoic acid (C 16:1) together with lesser quantities of octadecenoic acid (C 18:1) whilst none contained acids with chain lengths exceeding 18 carbon atoms. Decreasing the growth temperature from 20 degrees C to 0 degrees C resulted in little s… Show more

“…by Bhakoo & Herbert (1980) demonstrated no significant change in fatty acid composition when the incubation temperature was reduced from 20 to 0 "C. It was suggested that the high levels of unsaturated fatty acids in these organisms grown at 20 "C (59-71 O h ) allowed sufficient membrane fluidity to be maintained for proper cellular function at the lower temperature. A similar trend was found for a psychrophilic Vibrio sp., which contained over 68 % 16: 1 when grown at 15 "C, but did not significantly alter its fatty acid composition when transferred to 0 O C (Bhakoo & Herbert, 1979).…”

“…In order to gain further insight into the possible correlations between the taxonomy, metabonomics, and ecological properties of the source organisms and the NF-B inhibitory potential of the extracts, we evaluated the FA composition of the microalgal samples included in the screening. Algae are known to be rich in FAs [70][71][72], and their FA composition can, to a certain extent, be used as fingerprints for their taxonomy or for the environmental conditions of their habitat [32,34,70]. Little difference could be seen between the FA composition of the two genera.…”
