<i>Schistosoma mansoni</i> does not and cannot oxidize fatty acids, but these are used for biosynthetic purposes instead

2018-11-06

Abstract excerpt

Adult schistosomes, parasitic flatworms that cause the tropical disease schistosomiasis, have always been considered to be homolactic fermenters and in their energy metabolism strictly dependent on carbohydrates. However, more recent studies suggested that fatty acid β-oxidation is essential for egg production by adult female Schistosoma mansoni . To address this conundrum, we performed a comprehensive study on t...
