Abstract
The fatty acid composition of a new strain of Vibrio alginolyticus, fo und in the alga Cladophora coelothrix, was studied. Among 38 different fatty acids, a new fatty acid, 9-methyl-10-hexadecenoic acid and the unusual 11-methyl-12- octadecenoic acid, were identified. Linear alkyl benzene fatty acids, such as 10-phenyldecanoic acid, 12-phenyldodecano ic acid and 14-phenyltetradecanoic acid, were also found in V. alginol yticus. The alga contained 43% saturated fatty acids, and 28% C-16-C-2 0 polyunsaturated fatty acids of the n-3 and n-6 families.
