variability of hydrocarbon and fatty acid components in cultures of the filamentous cyanobacterium scytonema sp. isolated from microbial community "black cover" of limestone walls in jerusalem. | the hydrocarbon and lipid components of four strains of the filamentous cyanobacterium scytonema sp. isolated from microbial community "black cover" of limestone walls in jerusalem were identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry using serially coupled capillary columns. the dominant compounds were: 1-heptadecyne (1.5-8%), hexadecanoic acid (14-36%), (z,z)-9,12-octadecadienoic acid (12-30%), (z,z,z)-9,12,15-octadecatrienoic acid (6-12%), n-heptadecane (4-16%), and 1-heptadecene (1.5-8%). ... | 2002 | 12495426 |
