以小球藻(Chlorela sp.)和三角褐指藻(Phaeodactylum tricornutum)为研究对象,比较了其合成有机物中长链烷烃和脂肪酸的组成和丰度。结果表明,小球藻中的脂肪酸以14:0、16:1、16:0、20:5为主,其中16:0饱和脂肪酸的质量分数为43%,具绝对优势。三角褐指藻中的脂肪酸组成显示16:1、16:0、20:5占优势。其中16:1和16:0两种脂肪酸含量相当。长链烷烃在两种藻中均以低碳链分布,优势组分集中在C16~C21碳链之间。小球藻中C17 |

Comparative study of fatty acid and n-alkane compositions in two phytoplankton species |

Abstract: |
The compositions and abundances of fatty acids and n-alkanes were measured for two marine phytoplanktons Chlorela sp. and Phaeodactylum tricornutum. Our results indicate that the short chain saturated and monosaturated fatty acids, 14:0, 16:0, 16:1 comprised major fraction of the detected fatty acids in the two algae species. In addition, 18:0, 18:1 and 20:5 also showed relatively high abundances in Chlorela sp. and 20:5 in P. tricornutum. Compared with fatty acids, the abundance of n-alkanes was much lower in the two algae species and was predominated by the short chain C16~C23 compounds. The composition and distribution characteristics of fatty acid and n-alkanes in Chlorela sp. and P. tricornutum could play certain roles in their ecological significance. Our results also confirm the efficiency of using fatty acids and n-alkanes as biomarkers to distinguish organic matter sources in marine sediments. |
