Betaine Lipid Is Crucial for Adapting to Low Temperature and Phosphate Deficiency in Nannochloropsis.

Abstract excerpt

Diacylglyceryl-N,N,N-trimethylhomo-Ser (DGTS) is a nonphosphorous, polar glycerolipid that is regarded as analogous to the phosphatidylcholine in bacteria, fungi, algae, and basal land plants. In some species of algae, including the stramenopile microalga Nannochloropsis oceanica, DGTS contains an abundance of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), which is relatively scarce in phosphatidylcholine, implying that DGTS has a...
