Fetal bovine serum (FBS) is a necessary constituent of the culture media employed to foster the growth of Trypanosoma cruzi epimastigote forms. In different laboratories, the serum is used at final concentrations of 5 or 10%. We have normally supplemented the complex medium with 10% FBS. Under this condition we have described the fatty acid composition of the total lipids and of the phosphoinositide fractions. Additionally, we have reported the increase of polyphosphoinositides and phosphatidic acid after cholinergic stimulation. Since further attempts to reproduce these results with 5% FBS in the culture medium were not successful, the effect of the FBS concentration on the fatty acid composition of phospholipids from the T. cruzi epimastigote forms was thoroughly examined. This work showed that when the FBS concentration supplementing the culture medium was reduced from 10 to 5%, the fatty acid composition of the phosphoinositides was altered while the other major phospholipids were not significantly affected. The most relevant result was the decrease in the content of linoleic acid (18:2) and the increase of palmitoleic acid (16:1) in phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate. Phosphatidylinositol (PI) and phosphatidylinositol phosphate also exhibited similar changes in the same fatty acids. The C2fatty acid composition of the phosphoinositides, under the same conditions, is also reported here for the first time.Key words: Trypanosoma cruzi, fatty acids, phosphoinositides, fetal bovine serum, phospholipids.

Analysis of fatty acid composition in liquid culture media after lipophilic bacterial strains cultivation was carried out. Pure cultures were earlierisolated from fat-containing wastes and cultivated on media with diverse fat sources. It was shown that microorganisms hydrolyze animal and milk fats to free fatty acids.

AbstractFatty acids, as key components of cellular membranes and complex lipids, may play a central role in endocrine signalling and the function of adipose tissue and liver. Thus, the lipid fatty acid composition may play a role in health and disease status in the equine. This study aimed to investigate the fatty acid composition of different tissues and liver lipid classes by comparing Warmblood horses and Shetland ponies under defined conditions. We hypothesized that ponies show different lipid patterns than horses in adipose tissue, liver and plasma. Six Warmblood horses and six Shetland ponies were housed and fed under identical conditions. Tissue and blood sampling were performed following a standardized protocol. A one-step lipid extraction, methylation and trans-esterification method with subsequent gas chromatography was used to analyse the total lipid content and fatty acid profile of retroperitoneal, mesocolon and subcutaneous adipose tissue, liver and plasma. In the adipose tissues, saturated fatty acids (SFAs) and n-9 monounsaturated fatty acids (n-9 MUFAs) were most present in ponies and horses. N-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-6 PUFAs), followed by SFAs, were most frequently found in liver tissue and plasma in all animals. Horses, in comparison to ponies, had significantly higher n-6 PUFA levels in all tissues and plasma. In liver tissue, horses had significantly lower hepatic iso-branched-chain fatty acids (iso-BCFAs) than ponies. The hepatic fatty acid composition of selected lipid classes was different between horses and ponies. In the polar PL fraction, horses had low n-9 MUFA and n-3 PUFA contents but higher n-6 PUFA contents than ponies. Furthermore, iso-BCFAs are absent in several hepatic lipid fractions of horses but not ponies. The differences in fatty acid lipid classes between horses and ponies provide key information on the species- and location-specific regulation of FA metabolism, thus affecting health and disease risk.

Aim. Main aim of this research was a comparison of fatty acid composition for seed oils from oil radish breeding forms and varieties produced in Natl. Botanical Garden of Natl. Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. Methods. Biochemical analysis of oil content as well as chromatographic analysis of fatty acid composition of oil radish and its genotypes were conducted out. Results. Oil content in seeds of oil radish (Raphanus var. oleifera sativus L.) was determined. The highest oil content was indicated for variety Kyyanochka – 42 %. Basing on chromatographic analysis of fatty acids of oil radish genotypes most optimal fatty acid composition for biodiesel production was identified in Kyyanochka variety due to high content of short-chained and monounsaturated fatty acids and highest oleic (18:1) acid content – 37.89 %. Conclusions. Taking in account results of chromatographic analysis and agronomic productivity the best genotype for biodiesel production were identified: variety Kyyanochka. Chosen genotype could be used for production of light types of biofuel which have potential to be used as additive for aviation fuel according to the optimal fatty acid composition Keywords: Brassicaceae, oil radish, varieties, breeding forms, oil, fatty acids, biodiesel production.
