Temperature Acclimation of the Picoalga Ostreococcus tauri Triggers Early Fatty-Acid Variations and Involves a Plastidial ω3-Desaturase

Abstract: Alteration of fatty-acid unsaturation is a universal response to temperature changes. Marine microalgae display the largest diversity of polyunsaturated fatty-acid (PUFA) whose content notably varies according to temperature. The physiological relevance and the molecular mechanisms underlying these changes are however, still poorly understood. The ancestral green picoalga Ostreococcus tauri displays original lipidic features that combines PUFAs from two distinctive microalgal lineages (Chlorophyceae, Chromista… Show more

“…The relative percentage of the PUFA 16:4, 18:3, and 18:4 were highest at a cultivation temperature of 20°C, and decreased with higher temperatures (30 and 35°C) (Figures 6a–c, 4a–c and 7a‐c). It is well known that many organisms raise their degree of FA unsaturation at lower temperatures in order to maintain the cell membrane fluidity (Alfonso et al, 2001; Collados et al, 2006; de Mendoza & Cronan Jr, 1983; Degraeve‐Guilbault et al, 2021; Patterson, 1970). Our data suggest that these temperature‐triggered changes of FA unsaturation in A. obliquus are performed by the ratio change of the FA 16:4, 18:3, and 18:4 and lower desaturated FA.…”

“…Beside the lipid content, also the degree of saturation and the FA composition can be influenced by the microalgae cultivation conditions. One of the underlying mechanisms of temperature adaptation in plants, microorganisms, and green algae is the modification of the degree of FA saturation to regulate the cell membrane fluidity (Alfonso et al, 2001; Collados et al, 2006; de Mendoza & Cronan Jr, 1983; Degraeve‐Guilbault et al, 2021; Patterson, 1970).…”

“…The low temperature was chosen to maximize the FA‐unsaturation. Microalgae raise the PUFA content with lowered environmental temperatures to maintain the fluidity of cell membranes (Degraeve‐Guilbault et al, 2021; Patterson, 1970). However, the used cultivation temperature is lower than the optimum temperature of this species, which is around 30°C (Hindersin et al, 2012).…”

“…For example, phytohormones and the pretreatment of microalgae with low‐dose atmospheric plasma can increase growth and FA production (Almarashi et al, 2020; Esakkimuthu et al, 2020). It is also well‐known that the cultivation temperature greatly impacts the FA composition of microalgae, whereby lower cultivation temperatures are related to a higher PUFA concentration and a higher degree of FA unsaturation (Degraeve‐Guilbault et al, 2021; Patterson, 1970). Another abiotic parameter that impacts the FA composition is the intensity and spectral composition of light (Hultberg et al, 2014; Nzayisenga et al, 2020; Shu et al, 2012).…”

“…Previously, Degraeve-Guilbault et al ( 2017); Degraeve-Guilbault et al ( 2021) provided a comprehensive study of the glycerolipidome and validated this species as a model for related picoeukaryotes. O. tauri lipids showed unique characteristics that combined traits from green and chromalveolate lineages (Degraeve-Guilbault et al, 2017;Degraeve-Guilbault et al, 2021). Ostreococcus presents a single APC-type transporter (Amino acid/ polyamine transporter, NCBI Sequence: XP_003083160.2) orthologous to AOC5/6 (plant cationic amino acid transporters).…”
