Figure 4. Fatty acid distribution of the main phospholipids produced by Pichia pastoris cells grown in a hydrogenated medium at 30°C (red) and at 18°C (green) and in a deuterated environment at 30°C (blue) and 18°C (cyan).

Figure 4

In all individual phospholipids, the deuterated environment triggers the enrichment in C18:1 fatty acids PC, phosphatidylcholine; PE, phosphatidylethanolamine; PI, phosphatidylinositol; PS, phosphatidylserine. Errors bars represent the standard deviation from three different phospholipids extractions and separations. Data represent mean values ± s.d (n = 3). In histograms, *P<0.05 from Student's t-test, assuming equal variance. PC: for C16:0, the difference is significant between H30°C and H18°C, between H30°C and D30°C and between H30°C and D18°C. For C16:1, there is a significant difference between H30°C and D30°C and between H18°C and D18°C. For C18:0, there is a significant difference between H18°C and D18°C, between H18°C and H30°C and between H18°C and D30°C. For C18:1, the difference is significant between all the different temperatures and isotopic contents. For C18:2, there is a significant difference between D30°C and D18°C, between D30°C and H30°C and between D30°C and H18°C. For C18:3, the difference is significant between all the different temperatures and isotopic contents. PE: for C16:0, the difference is significant between H30°C and D30°C, between H30°C and H18°C and between H30°C and D18°C. For C18:1 and C18:3, the difference is significant between all the different temperatures and isotopic contents. PS and PI: for C16:0, there is a significant difference between H30° and D30°C and between H30° and D18°C. For C16:2 and C18:1, there is a significant difference between H30°C and D30°C, between H18°C and D18°C and between D18°C and D30°C. For C18:2 and C18:3, there is a significant difference between H30°C and D30°C and between H18°C and D18°C.
