Fatty acid composition of adipose tissue and liver fats of the rats fed yeast grown on n-alkanes.

n-Alkane assimilating yeast, Candida tropicalis YO-148, was grown on an n-alkane-containing medium. A synthetic diet containing 6.8% of dried yeast was fed to rats. The fatty acid composition of adipose tissue and liver fats was determined after a two week feeding period. The percentage of odd-numbered acids increased in the animals fed the yeast diet. Furthermore, it was shown that heptadecenoic acid, the major odd-numbered acid in yeast, was accumulated in neutral lipid fraction of adipose tissue fat. Fatty acid composition of protein isolate prepared from yeast cells had a profile similar to that of the original cells.[1]
