Seasonal changes in lipid and fatty acid composition of the freshwater mollusk, Diplodom patagonicus

Diplodom patagonicus is a freshwater bivalve mollusk living in lakes of the patagonian Andes mountains in Argentina. Lipid composition and seasonal changes in the mollusk were studied in the natural habitat. In addition to common nonpolar and polar lipids, small amounts of alk-1-enyldiacylglycerol e...

Gros, Eduardo Gervasio Diplodom patagonicus is a freshwater bivalve mollusk living in lakes of the patagonian Andes mountains in Argentina. Lipid composition and seasonal changes in the mollusk were studied in the natural habitat. In addition to common nonpolar and polar lipids, small amounts of alk-1-enyldiacylglycerol ethers and significant quantities of ceramide aminoethyl phosphonate were present. Total lipid content changed during the year, primarily because of decreased triacylglycerols in winter. The fatty acid composition of the lipids, remarkably different from that of marine bivalves, and even from other fresh water animals, was especially rich in the ω6 fatty acids, linoleic and arachidonic (ca. 25%), and poor in the ω3 acids, 20:5 and 22:6. The ω6/ω3 acid ratio was ca. 2, which is very high compared to marine bivalves. The fatty acid composition and the ω6/ω3 acid ratio were constant during the whole year, suggesting a very stable diet, rich in vegetal detritus and poor in diatoms. The influence of environmental temperature fluctuation with season on fatty acid composition also was negible. Modest proportions of 22:2 nonmethylene-interrupted (NMI) acids were detected and confirmed by mass spectrometry. It was shown that 20:2 NMI acids were absent. © 1981 American Oil Chemists' Society.
