Isolation and Antimicrobial Activity of Lectin from Schinus terebinthifolius Leaves
province. Total lipids from freshly freeze dried cultures of Chlorella vulgaris was extracted and converted into fatty acid methyl esters and used for determination of different types of fatty acids by gas chromatography, mass spectrometry (GC/MS) method. Results: The composition of fatty acids in the Chlorella vulgaris was mainly, myristic acid, palmitic acid, oleic acid, Stearic acid, Linoleic acid and Lauric acid. Discussion:Microalgaemay contain significant quantities of fats and oils (lipids) with compositions similar to those of vegetable oils. Under certain conditions, microalgae have been reported to contain up to 85% of the dry weight as lipids. The results showed the presence of at least 20 fatty acids in the Chlorella vulgaris.
