| Abstract | Twenty two isolates of actinomycetes from soil and marine sponge collected from the coast of Thailand at Chonburi, Chanthaburi, and Nakhon-Si Thammarat were determined for fatty acid composition by GC/FID. The study found that the SFAs was the main component in all isolates; C16:0 was found in the highest amount 22.92%TFA, except for three isolates “NS2-2” genus Nocardiopsis , “NS4-6” genus Streptomyces and “WN-POR-02-1” genus Micromonospora which the PUFAs was the main component. The highest levels of linoleic acid (C18:2n6) and α-linolenic acid (C18:3n3) were found in isolate NS2-2 at 37.38 ± 0.27% and 4.07 ± 0.09% total fatty acid respectively. These two PUFAs are the precursors of long chain omega-6 and omega-3 families which are essential fatty acids for both aquatic and terrestrial species, as these cannot be synthesized by certain species and thus these must be supplied within the diet. So the actinomycete isolates NS2-2, NS4-6 and WN-POR-02-1 should be develop as the sources for essential fatty acid productions. Keywords : Actinomycetes, Fatty acid |
