The growth kinetics of Synechocystis sp. and structure of MGDG. (a) Growth curve of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 wild type strain. The growth was measured in terms of absorbance value obtained at 680 nm. (b) Structure of MGDG extracted from Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 containing n-6 18:3 γ-linolenic acid (n-6 GLA) and 16:0 palmitic acid at sn-1 and sn-2 fatty acid chains, respectively (upper panel); the most abundant structure of plant extracted MGDG standard containing n-3 18:3 α-linolenic acid (n-3 ALA) and 16:3 palmitolinolenic acid at sn-1 and sn-2 fatty acid chains, respectively (lower panel).
