Abstract
Lipids extracted fromConidiobolus denaesporus Drechsl. were found to contain three branched-chain fatty acids, which together comprised about 35% of the total fatty acids of the fungus. The branchedchain acids were identified by gas-liquid chromatography, infrared and mass spectroscopy as 12-methyl tridecanoic, 12-methyl tetradecanoic, and 14-methyl pentadecanoic acids respectively. Then-saturated acids comprise C12, C13, C14, C16, and C18. Then C16,n C18, andn C20 unsaturated acids were also found. The occurrence of 15.2% of myristic acid and of 8.9% of eicosatetraenoic acid provides a further distinctive feature of the lipids ofConidiobolus denaesporus.Keywords
