Abstract
Sterols and alcohols isolated from a collection of industrially important fresh-water green algaeChlorella kessleri, Scenedesmus acuminatus, S. acutus andS. acutus var.Tomasclli cultivated heterotrophically or autotrophically under pilot plant conditions, were identified and quantified by gas chromatography — mass spectrometry. Previsously demonstrated sterols with double bonds in position 5 and 7 were detected. In addition, cholesta-5,7,22-trien-3 β-oI that had not yet been described in green algae was found inS. acutus. Alcohols were found only inC. kessleri cultivated under heterotrophic conditions. Some saturated and unsaturated alcohols were detected for the first time in green algae.
