摘要
The free-living nematode, Turbatrix aceti, in axenic culture, has the ability to synthesize polyunsaturated fatty acids de novo. Experiments with labeled fatty acids have provided some insight into the metabolic pathways involved. Of particular interest is the synthesis of 8, 11, 14, 17-eicosatetraenoic acid in greater quantities than the more common 5, 8, 11, 14 isomer (arachidonic acid). © 1968.
