Autoradiography of total lipid extracts from Synechocystis ∆aas:AAE15. Cultures of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 wild type (WT), aas knock-out strain (∆aas), and aas knock-out strain complemented with Arabidopsis AAE15 (AAE15) were grown in presence of [1-14C] labeled fatty acids. Lipid extracts of harvested cells were separated by TLC. FFA free fatty acid, MGDG monogalactosyldiacylglycerol, (C12:0 lauric acid, C14:0 myristic acid, C16:0 palmitic acid, C18:0 stearic acid, C18:1 oleic acid, C18:3 linolenic acid). The spot above the free fatty acids was proven to be fatty acid methyl ester and originated from the extraction method applied
