“…532 Investigation of the seasonal variation of fatty acids in Vietnamese tropical specimens of Sinularia flexibilis identified no variation in poly-unsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) content, consistent with their role as a structural factor of coral cell membranes, while saturated fatty acid content increased during the summer months, attributed to energy storage lipids. 533 The species contains zooxanthellae symbionts – the observation of no clear relationship between PUFA content and light intensity showed there was no contribution from the symbiont to the seasonal increase in fatty acid content.…”
