چکیده

Glycerolipids and fatty acids of D. membranacea (Dictyotales) were analysed. The betaine lipid DGTA and the glycolipids MGOG, DGDG and SQDG were major components. The phospholipids PE, PG, PI and PHEG were present in minor amounts only. This lipid pattern, which is characterised by the presence of DGTA and the absence of PC, has been found exclusively in brown algae belonging to the orders Dictyotales, Durvillaeales and Fucales. Major fatty acids were 16:0, 18:1, 18:2, al8:3, 18:4 and 20:4 acids. MGDG was the most unsaturated lipid with high levels of 18:4 acid. SQDG showed the highest degree of saturation containing a considerable proportion of 16:0 acid. DGTA contained 14 : 0,18:1,18:2 and 20:4 as major fatty acids. Among phospholipids, PE and PHEG had a very similar pattern which was enriched in 20:4 acid. Analysis of the positional distribution of fatty acids revealed that DGTA and MGDG were almost exclusivly of the "eukaryotic" type, whereas SQDG was predominantly of the "prokaryotic" type. For the first time, molecular species of selected lipids have been analysed in a brown alga. In DGTA, 14:0/18:1, 14:0/18:2 and 14:0/20:4 were the main molecular species. In MGDG the highly unsaturated erl8:3/18:4, 18:4/18:4 and 18:4/20:5 were predominant.

The nutritional values of the three Caspian Sea macroalgae species, Cladophora glomerata, Enteromorpha intestinalis and Laurencia caspica were evaluated based on proximate and fatty acid composition. The investigated species demonstrated low lipid composition (0.20±0.03- 1.62±0.26 % DW) and high carbohydrate (21.70±0.17-26.1±1.27%DW) and protein contents (13.34±2.41-28.08±0.51%DW). The as...

Effects of salt stress on total lipid values, fatty acid profiles, omega-3, omega-6 and omega-9, in the brown algea Sargassum boveanum on Bushehr coast

Some algae are rich sources of various beneficial lipids and fatty acids. In recent years, several studies have been performed on algae to evaluate the effect of different salinity treatments on the quantity and quality of these lipids. The present study was performed to investigate the effect of different concentrations of sodium chloride on total lipid content, fatty acid profile, and omega-3...
