摘要
The fatty acid composition of several Spirulina-like cyanobacteria strains was investigated. While, on the basis of morphology alone, these strains could not be distinguished form Spirulina, their fatty acid composition demonstrated a different pattern having large amounts of 18:3 (9, 12, 15), 16:1 or 16:2, but small quantities of gamma-linolenic acid. On the basis of these findings, it is suggested that fatty acid composition might be utilized for the classification of Spirulina strains.
