Characterization of an Omega-3 Desaturase From Phytophthora parasitica and Application for Eicosapentaenoic Acid Production in Mortierella alpina [PDF]
Omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs) have important therapeutic and nutritional benefits in humans. In the biosynthesis pathways of these LC-PUFAs, omega-3 desaturase plays a critical role.

Biosynthesis of uniformly labeled 13C- and 14C-arachidonic acid in Mortierella alpina. [PDF]
Arachidonic acid (ARA) is one of the most abundant polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in the mammalian brain. Many enzymatically- and nonenzymatically-produced metabolic products have important and potent pharmacological properties. However, uniformly isotope labeled forms of ARA are not commercially available for studying the metabolic fates of ARA ...

Mortierella alpina CS10E4, an oleaginous fungal endophyte of Crocus sativus L. enhances apocarotenoid biosynthesis and stress tolerance in the host plant [PDF]
Crocus sativus is the only plant species which produces apocarotenoids like crocin, picrocrocin and safranal in significant amounts. These compounds impart organoleptic properties to saffron (dried stigmas of Crocus flower) making it world’s costliest ...

Molecular mechanism of substrate specificity for delta 6 desaturase from Mortierella alpina and Micromonas pusilla [PDF]
The ω6 and ω3 pathways are two major pathways in the biosynthesis of PUFAs. In both of these, delta 6 desaturase (FADS6) is a key bifunctional enzyme desaturating linoleic acid or α-linolenic acid.

Isolation of a Delta(5)-fatty acid desaturase gene from Mortierella alpina [PDF]
Arachidonic acid (C20:4 Δ5,8,11,14)) is a polyunsaturated fatty acid synthesized by the ?-fatty acid desaturation of di-homo-?-linolenic acid (C20:3 Δ8,11,14)).
