Very Long Chain Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids Accumulated in Triacylglycerol Are Channeled From Phosphatidylcholine in Thraustochytrium

Thraustochytrium is a marine protist that can accumulate a large amount of very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (VLCPUFA) in triacylglycerols (TAG). How these freshly synthesized VLCPUFAs are channeled into TAG remains unknown. In this study, the glycerolipid profile of Thraustochytrium at lo...
