title: An unusual fatty acid composition for a fresh-water mussel, Unio tumidus, from Bulgaria.
abstract: A combination of hplc in the silver ion mode and gc-ms of picolinyl ester derivatives was used to identify the fatty acids in a fresh-water mussel, Unio tumidus, from the Danube in Bulgaria. A number of novel fatty acids were found, including 14-methylpentadec-6-enoic and 17-methyloctadec-8-enoic acids. Eicos-7-enoic acid was a major component.
