Fatty acid composition and lipid profiles as chemotaxonomic markers of phytopathogenic fungi Puccinia malvacearum and P. glechomatis.

Summary

Researchers examined the fatty acid composition of the phytopathogenic fungi Puccinia malvacearum and P. glechomatis to determine their chemotaxonomic markers. Both species synthesized unusual fatty acids like 9,10-epoxy-octadecanoic acid and hydroxy fatty acids. Ultra-high performance liquid chromatography mass spectrometry revealed the complexity of molecular lipid species of these fungi. The lipid composition of P. malvacearum and P. glechomatis can be used in chemotaxonomic studies due to their diversity of neutral and polar lipids and fatty acids.
