Olefins of High Molecular Weight in Two Microscopic Algae
The hydrocarbon composition of two algae, a golden-brown (Botryococcus braunii) and a blue-green (Anacystis montana), has been investigated by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Both show distributions of aliphatic hydrocarbons of odd carbon numbers in medium and high ranges of molecular weight, with maxima at n-C17 and n-C29 for B. braunii and n-C17 and n-C29 for A. montana. With the exception of the n-heptadecane of A. montana all the hydrocarbons are monoenes, dienes, or trienes (1968) - Read More
