The metabolism of cyclopropane fatty acids by Tetrahymena pyriformis.
Cyclopropane fatty acids are readily metabolized by whole cells of Tetrahymena pyriformis when the fatty acids are presented either as components of intact Escherichia coli cells or as free fatty acids added to the medium. cis-ll,lZ[methylene-14C]Methyleneoctadecanoic acid was degraded with the production of 14COz by whole T. pyriformis cells or a particulate fraction derived from them. In the ...
متن کاملFatty acids of mitochondrial membranes from Tetrahymena pyriformis.
We have examined the fatty acid composition of the mitochondrial membranes in three strains of Tetrahymena pyriformis. All three had similar components and exhibited large amounts of unsaturated fatty acids. The cytoplasmic mutant, CA-10, which has a slower growth rate and unusual membrane morphology, had a slightly higher amount of iso-acids but was otherwise similar to the other strains in fa...
متن کاملPositional distribution of fatty acids in the glycerophospholipids of Tetrahymena pyriformis.
The positional distributions of the fatty acids in the major glycerophospholipids of Tetrahymena pyriformis W were analyzed. A comparison was made of the acyl distributions in normal and ergosterol-grown cells. It was assumed that the positional arrangement of fatty acids would serve as an indicator of acyltransferase enzyme specificity. The acyltransferases in this protozoan have substrate spe...
متن کاملThe Nucleic Acids of Basal Bodies Isolated from Tetrahymena Pyriformis
Pellicular fragments were isolated from ethanol-fixed cells of the holotrichous ciliate Tetrahymena pyriformis by the action of digitonin. The isolated pellicles were further fragmented and the basal bodies of the cilia isolated from them by three methods. The preparations, examined in the electron microscope as embedded sections or negatively stained samples, consisted mainly of somewhat defor...
متن کاملEnzymatic synthesis of cyclopropane fatty acids catalyzed by bacterial extracts.
The pioneering studies of Hofmann and co-workers on the lipids of lactobacilli led to the discovery of a 19 carbon fatty acid containing a cyclopropane ring (l-5). This acid was characterized as cis-11 ,12-methyleneoctadecanoic acid and was given the trivial name, lactobacillic acid. A 17 carbon fatty acid from Escherichia coli was described by Dauchy and Asselineau (6) and characterized as cis...
