Characterisation of fish fatty acyl desaturases 2 (Fads2) ability to desaturate 24:5n−3. Fatty acid (FA) profiles of yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) co-transformed with the Danio rerio elovl2, and the Arapaima gigas ∆6 fads2 (A), Sparus aurata ∆6 fads2 (B), Nibea mitsukurii ∆6 fads2 (C), Clarias gariepinus ∆6∆5 fads2 (D), Salmo salar ∆5 fads2 (E) and Chirostoma estor ∆4 fads2 (F) and grown in the presence of an exogenously added FA substrates (indicated as “*” in all panels). Peaks 1–4 represent the S. cerevisiae endogenous FA, namely 16:0 (1), 16:1 isomers (2), 18:0 (3) and 18:1n-9 (4). Elongation (**) and desaturation (†) products from exogenously added or endogenously produced FA are indicated accordingly.
