It has been reported that Ensifer meliloti presents a high proportion of monounsaturated fatty acids and has a putative desaturase gene designated as PhFAD12 (National Centre for Biotechnology Information), encoding a ...

Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a valuable host for the expression and characterization of eukaryotic enzymes involved in polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) biosynthesis, such as elongases and desaturases. The yeast allows a ...

Pseudomonas putida counteract the fluidizing effect of cationic surfactants decreasing the content of membrane unsaturated fatty acid (UFA). A Δ9-fatty acid desaturase gene (desA) from P. putida was isolated, cloned, and ...

The pathway for unsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis is essential in trypanosomatid parasites and has been a key target in our work on the discovery and analysis of several inhibitory compounds. Here, we show the effect of ...

The objective of this research was to measure the activity of e-desaturase enzyme in lactating buffaloes. Data from forty lactating Murrah-crossbred buffaloes were collected on five commercial farms located at Sarapui and ...

At low temperatures, Bacillus cereus synthesizes large amounts of unsaturated fatty acids (UFAs) with double bonds in positions Δ5 and Δ10, as well as Δ5,10 diunsaturated fatty acids. Through sequence homology searches, ...

Desaturases, key enzymes in the metabolism of fatty acids, regulate the physical and biochemical properties of membranes. They adjust the composition of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids in response to changes in the ...

The aim of this research was to study the differences between breeds through the analyses of the intramuscular fat content and fatty acid profile of the main local hair sheep breeds of Brazil, Morada Nova (MO), Brazilian ...
