Substrate Specificity of Acyl-Lipid Δ9-Desaturase from Cyanobacterium sp. IPPAS B-1200, a Cyanobacterium with Unique Fatty Acid Composition
Cyanobacterium sp. IPPAS B-1200 is characterized by a high content of rare fatty acids (FAs), both myristic (14:0–30%) and myristoleic (14:1Δ9–10%) in the membrane lipids. Thus, short-chain FAs reach 40% of the s...
