摘要
The temperate red alga Gracilariopsis lemaneiformis is a rich source of polyunsaturated fatty acids that are regio-specifically oxidized at C-12. In this in vitro study, we demonstrate the existence of a highly active lipoxygenase-type activity in Gracilariopsis. GC-MS of the methyl ester, trimethylsilyl ether derivatives of the crude reaction mixture identified the production of 12-hydroxyicosatetraenoic acid, a 12-lipoxygenase product previously isolated from this alga. This is the first report of 12-lipoxygenase-type activity from the plant kingdom. © 1990.
