  • spatial seasonal and within plant variation in total fatty acid content and composition in the brown seaweeds dictyota bartayresii and Dictyopteris australis dictyotales phaeophyceae
    Journal of Applied Phycology, 2015
    Co-Authors: Bjorn J Gosch, Nicholas A Paul, Marie Magnusson
    Abstract:

    We investigated the spatial, seasonal, and within-plant variation in total fatty acids (TFA) and fatty acid (FA) composition in the brown seaweeds Dictyota bartayresii sampled from Nelly Bay, Orpheus Island, and Kissing Point (Northern Queensland, Australia) and Dictyopteris australis sampled from Nelly Bay. Both species were present year round, but with no consistent seasonal pattern in plant size, and had an annualized mean content of TFA of 5 % dry weight (dw) that is among the highest recorded for seaweeds. For Dictyota, larger plants had a higher content of TFA and a higher proportion of polyunsaturated omega-3 FA (PUFA(n-3)) than smaller plants, while for Dictyopteris, the TFA content and the proportion of PUFA(n-3) were unrelated to plant size. TFA in Dictyota varied considerably between locations (~40 %) (3.5–5.5 % dw) and to a lesser degree between seasons (~10 %) with a lower content of TFA and higher proportion of PUFA(n-3) in winter. Dictyopteris had an ~10 % higher content of TFA in winter but with no seasonal pattern in the composition of FA. There was also within-plant variation in FA, as TFA decreased from the tips toward the base in both species, and in Dictyopteris, the tips had a higher proportion of saturated FA (SFA) and PUFA(n-3) than the base. The presence of site- and species-specific variation in the content and composition of fatty acids reinforces the need for detailed analyses of the biochemical profile of seaweed biomass, including their extracts or purified compounds, if the focus is nutritional applications based on lipids.

  • 3s 4s 3 butyl 4 vinylcyclopentene in brown algae of the genus Dictyopteris
    Phytochemistry, 1997
    Co-Authors: Tadahiko Kajiwara, Yoshihiko Akakabe, Kenji Matsui, Kazuya Kodama, Harunobu Koga, Takamitsu Nagakura
    Abstract:

    Abstract (−)-( 3R,4R )-3-Butyl-4-vinylcyclopentene [(−)- 1 ] was synthesized via (+)-( 1S,5R )-3-oxabicyclo [3,3,0] oct-6-en-2-one. Synthetic (−)- 1 coincided with the peak with later retention time of racemic (±)- 1 in a chiral GC (CP-Cyclodex 236M), while the natural 1 in essential oils from the marine brown algae, Dictyopteris prolifera and D . sp. was identical with the earlier retention time peak. Thus, the absolute configuration of the natural product in Dictyopteris oils was determined as (+)-( 3S,4S ) with ca 100% enantiomeric excess.

    Abstract:

    We investigated the spatial, seasonal, and within-plant variation in total fatty acids (TFA) and fatty acid (FA) composition in the brown seaweeds Dictyota bartayresii sampled from Nelly Bay, Orpheus Island, and Kissing Point (Northern Queensland, Australia) and Dictyopteris australis sampled from Nelly Bay. Both species were present year round, but with no consistent seasonal pattern in plant size, and had an annualized mean content of TFA of 5 % dry weight (dw) that is among the highest recorded for seaweeds. For Dictyota, larger plants had a higher content of TFA and a higher proportion of polyunsaturated omega-3 FA (PUFA(n-3)) than smaller plants, while for Dictyopteris, the TFA content and the proportion of PUFA(n-3) were unrelated to plant size. TFA in Dictyota varied considerably between locations (~40 %) (3.5–5.5 % dw) and to a lesser degree between seasons (~10 %) with a lower content of TFA and higher proportion of PUFA(n-3) in winter.

  • uncommon 16 1 n 5 acid from dictyota dichotoma and fatty acids of some brown algae of dictyotaceae
    Phytochemistry, 1995
    Co-Authors: Svetlana V Khotimchenko
    Abstract:

    Abstract The detailed fatty acid composition of the brown algae, Dictyota dichotoma, Dictyopteris divaricata and Dictyota cervicornis are reported. About 35 fatty acids were identified, of which 16:0, 18:4 (n-3), 18:1(n-9), 14:0 and 20:4(n-6) predominated in each sample. A high content of an uncommon 16:1(n-5) and the occurrence of C 22 polyunsaturated fatty acids in minute amounts are characteristic features of algae from the genus Dictyota and Dictyopteris divaricata . The structure of 16:1(n-5) was confirmed by GC and mass spectrometry of its derivatives. The distribution of fatty acids among the polar lipids of Dictyota dichotoma are reported. The 16:1(n-5) acid was identified in glycolipids and betaine lipid.
