The identification of mixtures of fatty acids from biological materials is possible by electron impact ionization mass spectra of methyl esters after their capillary gas chromatographic separation. Mass spectra of pyrrolidine derivatives are used for the determination of double bond positions in unsaturated fatty acids. 97 different fatty acids (saturated, unsaturated, branched, cyclic, hydroxy, oxo, epoxy and methoxy) and other compounds (alkanes, halogens, phthalates, ketones, aldehydes) were identified in yeast and bacterial biomasses, lipid-containing animal tissues and human sera as well as fish and plant oils (77 preparations).

Five pink-pigmented bacterial strains, isolated from human skin and classified within the genus , were examined. Among them, four were identified as , while strain OT10 was deemed to be a potential novel species. Strain OT10 exhibited characteristics, such as Gram-stain-negative, oxidase positive, motile, strictly aerobic and rod shaped.

The consumer demand for functional foods derived from natural sources has been enhanced due to health-promoting effects. Algae are widely available globally as a sustainable source of proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates. Algal lipids are underexplored natural sources that exhibit several nutraceutical effects and applications in fortification, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is characterized by articular cartilage degeneration, leading to pain and loss of joint function. Recent studies have demonstrated that omega-3 (ω3) polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) supplementation can decrease injury-induced OA progression in mice fed a high-fat diet. Furthermore, PUFAs have been shown to influence the mechanical properties of chondrocyte membranes, suggesting that alterations in mechanosensitive ion channel signaling could contribute to the mechanism by which ω3 PUFAs decreased OA pathogenesis.

Background: Dicarboxylic acids (DCAs) are critically important for intermediate metabolism. Since mitochondrial dysfunction and energy dysregulation are associated with AD pathology, we hypothesize that fluctuations in plasma DCAs would accompany AD pathology.
Method: In an ongoing brain-aging study, we recruited older adults (>65 years) classified as cognitively healthy (CH) after neuropsychological testing.

Three aerobic, pink-pigmented, Gram-negative, motile and rod-shaped bacterial strains, designated SD21, SI9 and SB2, were isolated from the phyllosphere of healthy litchis collected from three main producing sites of Guangdong Province, PR China. The 16S rRNA gene analysis showed that strains SD21 and SI9 belonged to the genus (.) with the highest similarity to DSM 19563 (98.
