3. Lipid body: cellular organelle for storing oils
The oils needed to produce derivatives for green chemistry (biodiesel, detergents, lubricants, etc.) are contained in cellular structures known as lipid bodies (LBs). They are present in most organisms, from bacteria to mammals and plants ( 1 ). Lipid bodies are made up of a core of neutral lipids (triglycerides and sterol esters), surrounded by a monolayer of phospholipids into which a variable number of proteins are inserted...
