Marine ecosystems are rich in “omega-3” long-chain (C 20-24) polyunsaturated fatty acids
(LC-PUFA). Their production has been historically accepted to derive mostly from marine …

Abstract Omega-3 (n-3) long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA, C 20-24),
including eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20: 5n-3) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22: 6n …

Within the rich diversity of South American freshwater fish, Colossoma macropomum
(Characiformes: Serrasalmidae), known as tambaqui, cachama or blackfin pacu, can reach …

Synthetic fertilizers and pesticides are being extensively used in agriculture in order to
increase food production to feed the rapidly growing world population. This has negatively …

Invertebrates represent a large proportion of the biomass in aquatic ecosystems, particularly
in the ocean. In recent years, invertebrates have been well-consolidated models in …

Solid-state fermentation (SSF) carried out by microbial bioinoculants is an environmentally
friendly technology for the sustainable recovery and valorization of agri-food wastes …

Defining nutritional fatty acid essentiality in fish nutrition is complex given the wide range of
taxonomic (eg, divergence among species subjected to different selective pressures) …

The long-chain (≥ C20) polyunsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis capacity of fish varies
among species, with trophic level hypothesised as a major factor. The biosynthesis capacity …

In this research, the biosynthetic and biocontrol potential of endophytic yeast to improve the
growth and development of tobacco has been elucidated. Three yeast strains were enriched …

Elongation of very long-chain fatty acid (Elovl) proteins are key enzymes that catalyze the
rate-limiting step in the fatty acid elongation pathway. The most recently discovered member …
