Figure 4. Changes of the fatty-acid profile of procyclic-form trypanosomes upon RNA interference of oleate desaturase expression.

Figure 4

Procyclic cell line 29-13 (wt PCF) and the cell line containing the OD RNAi construct were grown in the absence (-tet) or presence (+tet) of tetracycline during the indicated time. The abundance of each fatty acid is presented as percentage of the total fatty acids. C16:0, palmitate: C16:1, palmitoleate; C18:0, stearate; C18:1, oleate; C18:2, linoleate; UFAs, unsaturated fatty acids. The results are means ± SD of three independent experiments.
