Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Following the success of this Special Issue, “Fatty Acids from Marine Organisms, https://www.mdpi.com/journal/marinedrugs/special_issues/D0V374PLCE”, we are delighted to edit a second edition on this topical area.
The biological roles of marine lipids and, in particular, fatty acids are extensively described. They are compounds universally present in all organisms and play very important biological roles, such as being building blocks in biological membranes, concentrated sources of energy, and molecules involved in many physiological functions as well as signaling activities. In addition, in ecological investigations fatty acids and, in particular, some polyunsaturated fatty acids are considered to be very important biomolecules as trophic biomarkers in the marine food chain analyses of several ecological niches. Fatty acids from marine organisms are a precious source of molecules of high nutritional significance, like polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) such as eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA) acids.
For this second edition of our Special Issue, we invite academic and industry scientists to submit reviews and original research articles focusing on the chemistry, biological roles, and bioactivities of fatty acids from marine organisms.
