Comparative Analysis of Fatty Acid Desaturases in Cyanobacterial Genomes

<table>The acyl-lipid desaturation of fatty acids
in cyanobacteria. Numbers around arrowhead indicate the positions at which a
double bond is introduced. Δ9a : desaturation occurring on both the <i>sn</i>-1 and the <i>sn</i>-2 positions of glycerolipids, Δ9b: desaturation
occurring on the <i>sn</i>-1 position of glycerolipids, Δ9c : desaturation occurring on the <i>sn</i>-2 position of glycerolipids, Δ9d: genes with desaturation <i>sn</i>-position of glycerolipids unspecified. Δ12a : Clade 3 of Δ12 homologous genes, Δ12b: Clade
1 of Δ12 homologous genes, Δ12c :
Clade 4 of Δ12 homologous genes.</table>
