Abstract
Eight lichen species growing in the Tian Shan Moutains were investigated for their fatty acid composition using capillary GC-MS. Seventy-three fatty acids were identified: 24 saturated, 28 monoenoic, 5 dienoic, 11 trienoic and eight tetra-, penta- and hexaenoic. Very long-chain fatty acids,viz. 26:0, 26:1(11), 26:3(3), 27:1, 28:1 and 30:1 were also identified. For the first time 36 fatty acids were identified in these lichens.
