Phytosterol biosynthesis pathway in Mortierella alpina
Phytochemistry, 2006The Zygomycetes fungus Mortierella alpina was cultured to growth arrest to assess the phytosterol biosynthesis pathway in a less-advanced fungus. The mycelium was found to produce 13 sterols, but no ergosterol. The sterol fractions were purified to homogeneity by HPLC and their identifies determined by a combination of GC-MS and 1H NMR spectroscopy ...

Functions and substrate selectivity of diacylglycerol acyltransferases from Mortierella alpina
Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2023Mortierella alpina produces various polyunsaturated fatty acids in the form of triacylglycerols (TAG). Diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT) catalyzes the binding of acyl-CoA to diacylglycerol to form TAG and is the key enzyme involved in TAG synthesis. A variety of DGATs are present in M.

Single cell oil production by Mortierella alpina
Journal of Biotechnology, 2009A filamentous fungus, Mortierella alpina 1S-4, was obtained, through extensive screening, as an potential producer of triacylglycerol containing C20 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) such as arachidonic acid. With this discovery as a starting point, we conducted employing methods from metabolic engineering and molecular biology for controlling ...

Sesamin inhibits lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase in Mortierella alpina
Biochemical Society Transactions, 2000The filamentous fungus, Mortierella alpina accumulates complex lipids relatively rich in arachidonic acid (C20 4 Δ5.8.11.14). The lignan, sesamin, has been used to reduce arachidonic acid production by specifically inhibiting Δ5-desaturation [Shimizu, Akimoto, Shinmen, Kawashima, Sugano and Yamada (1991) Lipids 26, 512–516].

The role of phenylalanine hydroxylase in lipogenesis in the oleaginous fungus Mortierella alpina
Microbiology, 2021Phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) catalyses the irreversible hydroxylation of phenylalanine to tyrosine, which is the rate-limiting reaction in phenylalanine metabolism in animals. A variety of polyunsaturated fatty acids can be synthesized by the lipid-producing fungus Mortierella alpina, which has a wide range of industrial applications in the ...
