The proposed n-6 PUFAs synthesis pathway in P. purpureum. Dotted and solid lines in blue represent the n-3 and n-6 pathways reported in literature, respectively, while solid lines in black represent the PUFAs synthesis pathway proposed in this paper. The yellow solid boxes represent free fatty acids detected in this study, while the empty boxes represent lipids detected in the literature.
