Abstract

The fatty acid composition of the sponge,Dysidea fragilis, from the Black Sea has been determined by analytical gas chromatography, silver ion high-performance liquid chromatography and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. More than a hundred different fatty acids were identified, of which many were similar to those in sponges from tropical seas. On the other hand, some of the fatty acids identified have not been found previously in sponges or other marine sources and perhaps are new to science. These include 13-methyl-tetradec-4-enoic and 14-methyl-hexadec-6-enoic acids, together with demospongic acids,i.e. 5,9,17-tetracosatrienoic, 5,9,17-pentacosatrienoic and 5,9,19-pentacosatrienoic acids. From the elution behavior on silver nitrate chromatography, all the double bonds were of thecis-configuration.
