Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The effect of oxygen availability on the molecular mechanisms of fatty acid biosynthesis was investigated in Mucor rouxii, a Mucorale fungus capable of producing gamma-linolenic acid through perturbation of the gaseous environment. Shifting of the M. rouxii culture from anaerobic to aerobic conditions resulted in an increase of the biomass and total fatty acid content of the M. rouxii culture. In addition, the levels of unsaturated fatty acids were enhanced accompanied by a decrease in the levels of medium- and long-chain saturated fatty acids. These results correspond to the levels of expressions of the Delta(9)-, Delta(12)- and Delta(6)-desaturases genes, all of which were coordinately up-regulated after the shift. The transcriptional response observed was rapid and transient, with the maximal mRNA levels detected between 0.5 h and 1.0 h after the shift. Together, our findings indicate that the anaerobic M. rouxii culture acclimatised to oxygen exposure by modulating fatty acid composition that was transcriptionally co-regulated by Delta(9)-, Delta(12)- and Delta(6)-desaturase genes. |
