Hi! I’m a PhD student in South Australia looking at the diet and movement of sharks and rays using #stableisotopes, #fattyacids, and #acoustictelemetry. I’m analysing how species partition resources to coexist in different environments 🦈

If they have similar activities, are ACAD10/11 redundant in cells? Our metabolomics results suggest they are not! ACAD10 is in mitochondrial and ACAD11 is peroxisomal, and we propose that their differential localization enables cells to catabolize a wider range of 4-hydroxy acids.
