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...

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.
