Fatty acid composition of cold-adapted carotenogenic basidiomycetous yeasts Composición de ácidos grasos de levaduras carotenogénicas

We studied fatty acids (FAs) profiles in six carotenoid-producing yeast species isolated from temperate aquatic environments in Patagonia. Total FAs ranged from 2 to 15% of dry biomass. Linoleic, oleic, palmitic and α-linolenic acids were the major FAs constituents, which accounted for as m...
