Abstract
The occurrence of dioic, hydroxy, branched, and unsaturated fatty acids in cyanobacteria of the genus Aphanizomenon growing in different freshwater la kes has been studied. Unusual dicarboxylic (from 4.52 to 7.14%) and other f atty acids were identified by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS).
