Fatty acid composition from an epiphytic strain of Fusarium oxysporum associated with algal crusts.
The fatty acid composition from Fusarium oxysporum B1, a fungal epiphyte from algal crusts, was determined. The most prominent fatty acids found in the mycelium were 18:1 omega9c, 16:0 and 18:0. These compounds amounted 47% of total fatty acids, whereas remaining fatty acids identified, including beta-hydroxylated, iso-branched, diunsaturated and odd-numbered derivatives were present in minor amounts.
