Abstract

6,9,12-Octadecatrien-6-ynoic acid, the main fatty acid of the TAG fraction of the moss Ceratodon purpureus is primarily synthesized from linoleic acid by 2 Δ6 desatn. steps, which are followed by a Δ15 desatn. Since 9,12-octadecadien-6-ynoic acid (18:2A) was exclusively found in the TAG of the cell, the last desatn. step either takes place in the TAG mol., or the 18:2A has to be detached , desatd. and reincorporated into TAG.
