Abstract
The distribution of 3-hydroxy oxylipins in Saturnispora saitoi was mapped using immunofluorescence microscopy. Fluorescence was observed on aggregating ascospores, indicating the presence of 3-hydroxy oxylipins on the surface or between ascospores. The oxylipin was identified as 3-hydroxy 9:1 using gas chromatography mass spectrometry. Furthermore, ultrastructural studies using scanning and transmission electron microscopy on ascospores revealed a clear equatorial ledge surrounding oval-shaped ascospores.
