The oxylipin chemistry of mosses
Using lipidomics approaches and stable isotope labeling techniques, we address the diversity, biosynthesis, and biological activity of red algal oxylipins. We unravel novel metabolic pathways towards lipid mediators that are active in ecological and pharmacological assays.
We also unravel the role of oxylipins in the chemical defense of microalgae, investigating mechanisms of regulation of this highly active compound class.
