Abstract
Normal alkanes ( n-C 14- n-C 30) and a diene (C 19:2) were found in Cyanidium caldarium RK-1 type with predominance of n-C 17, (46.3 %), while Cyanidium M-8 type contained n-alkanes ( n-C 15- n-C 25) and alkenes (C 19:1,C 21:1) with an abundance of C 19:1 (43.4 %). Normal alkanoic acids of odd-carbon numbers, n-C 15 (12.7%) and n-C 17,(10.5%) aswell as of even-carbon numbers, n-C 16 (12.7%) and n-C 18 (9.8%) and C 18:2 alkenoic acid (53.1%) were found in Cyanidium RK-1, while Cyanidium M-8 mainly contained n-C 16 (33.5 %) alkanoic acids, C 18:1(33.3 %) and C 18:2 (23.7%) alkenoic acids. The acid C 18:2 was present only in Cyanidium M-8. These results indicate a considerable difference between the two strains of Cyanidium caldarium, and Cyanidium RK-1 type may be unique among microalgae because it has a significant amount of odd-carbon numbered n-alkanoic acids.
