Fatty acids added to a suspension of wheat stem rust uredospores (Puccinia graminis var. tritici, race 15B) stimulate respiration. When compared on the basis of equal molar concentration, the utilization of oxygen by spores from wheat grown in the field or in the greenhouse is stimulated by short-chain fatty acids as follows: acetate < propionate < butyrate < valerate. The order for butyrate and valerate is reversed with spores from plants grown under artificial light. Radiotracer experiments indicate that the amount of respired carbon dioxide derived from the carboxyl carbon of the fatty acid added increases markedly with increase in chain length. The addition of exogenous acetate stimulated conversion of spore carbon to carbon dioxide, whereas valerate replaces, in part, spore material as a source of respiratory carbon. Valerate-1-C14 is almost 4 times as effective as acetate-1-C14 for labelling spore material, but the ratio of carbon-14 respired to that incorporated is 2.6 for valerate-1-C14 as compared with 1.5 for acetate-1-C14.

Porang (Amorphophallus oncophyllus) is a local perennial plant rich in glucomannan. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of porang glucomannan addition during cheese processing on fatty acid profile, organic acid and vitamin B6 of goat milk cheese ripened with Lactobacillus rhamnosus. In addition, the effect of cheese consumption on short-chain fatty acid profile in the caecum digesta of inflammatory rats was evaluated. We found that the addition of glucomannan to the cheese during its ripening increased the levels of myristic, pentadecanoic acid, and cis-oleic acids. Rats consuming this cheese had elevated cecal levels of propionic, butyric, total short-chain fatty acids, and lactic acid bacteria. Consumption of synbiotic cheese also decreased the intestinal inflammation via increasing the total lactic acid bacteria, propionic, butyric, and total short-chain fatty acids.
