Gas chromatography - mass spectrometry analysis of fatty acid profiles of Antarctic and non-Antarctic yeasts

The fatty acid profiles of Antarctic ('n' = 7) and non-Antarctic yeasts ('n' = 7) grown at different temperatures were analysed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The Antarctic yeasts were enriched in oleic 18:1 (20-60 %), linoleic 18:2 (20-50 %) and linolenic 18:3 (5-40 %)...

Description
Summary:The fatty acid profiles of Antarctic ('n' = 7) and non-Antarctic yeasts ('n' = 7) grown at different temperatures were analysed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The Antarctic yeasts were enriched in oleic 18:1 (20-60 %), linoleic 18:2 (20-50 %) and linolenic 18:3 (5-40 %) acids with lesser amounts of palmitic 16:0 (
