Study of Synthesis Pathways of the Essential Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid 20:5n-3 in the Diatom <i>Chaetoceros Muelleri</i> Using <sup>13</sup>C-Isotope Labeling
The present study sought to characterize the synthesis pathways producing the essential polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) 20:5n-3 (EPA). For this, the incorporation of <sup>13</sup>C was experimentally monitored into 10 fatty acids (FA) during the growth of the diatom <i>Chaetocero...
