An Examination by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry of the Hydrocarbons Present in the Alga Botryococcus Braunii,

Abstract

The hydrocarbons present in a number of 'blooms' of Botryococcus braunii from different Australian sites have been examined by gas chromatography-massspectrometry. This organism was found to contain many novel branched-chain hydrocarbons of the type Cn-H2n-10 where n equals 30, 34, 35, 36 or 37. These compounds were present in both red and green 'blooms' of the alga. (Author)
