Abstract excerpt
Spirulina-acyl-lipid desaturases are integral membrane proteins found in thylakoid and plasma membranes. These enzymes catalyze the fatty acid desaturation process of Spirulina to yield gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) as the final desaturation product. It has been reported that the cyanobacterial desa...
