We have previously demonstrated that 2H distribution in fatty acids is non-statistical and can be related to isotopic discrimination during chain extension and desaturation. Petroselinic acid (C18:1 Delta(6)), a fatty acid characteristic of the seeds of the Apiaceae, has been

The beta-oxidation of saturated fatty acids in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is confined exclusively to the peroxisomal compartment of the cell. Processing of mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids with the double bond at an even position requires, in addition to the basic

Poly(3-hydroxyalkanoates) (PHAs) were isolated from Pseudomonas putida KT2442 cultivated on petroselenic acid, oleic acid, and linoleic acid to study beta-oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids. Both saturated and unsaturated medium chain length 3-hydroxy fatty acids were found to be constituents of

Earlier feeding studies of rats revealed that petroselinic acid [18:1(n-12)] from triacylglycerols of coriander (Coriandrum sativum) oil is extensively incorporated into the lipids of heart and liver and metabolized via beta-oxidation and chain elongation. We report here the composition and

Unusual monounsaturated fatty acids are major constituents (greater than 80%) in seeds of Coriandrum sativum L. (coriander) and Thunbergia alata Bojer, as well as in glandular trichomes (greater than 80% derived products) of Pelargonium x hortorum (geranium). These diverged fatty
