摘要
Ochromonas danica and Porphyridium cruentum differ from Euglena gracilis in synthesizing arachidonic acid by the pathway involving γ-linolenic acid. In Monodus subterraneus and P. cruentum the site of synthesis of arachidonic acid may be the chloroplast, but O. danica resembles E. gracilis in accumulating little of this acid in the photosynthetic apparatus. © 1970.
