Abstract
The hydrocarbons, fatty acids, and sterols ofCronartium fusiforme basidiospores were examined by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. Trace quantities of aliphatic hydrocarbons were detected, but these were probably not fungal products. Principal nonsubstituted fatty acids were palmitic (11.7%), linoleic (17.2%), and linolenic (16.1%) acids; the predominant acid was 9,10-cis-epoxyoctadecanoic acid (40.7%). Four sterols were detected, three of which were identified as stigmast-7-enol (57.6%), stigmasta-5,7-dienol (22.7%), and ergost-7-enol (16.0%). The fourth sterol (4%) is a C28 diene. Lipids of the aeciospores and basidiospores ofC. fusiforme are compared.This publication has 19 references indexed in Scilit:
