LIPIDS IN BLUE‐GREEN ALGAL MATS (MODERN STROMATOLITES) FROM ANTARCTIC OASIS LAKES 1
ABSTRACT Lipids comprising the stenols, stanols, polar lipid fatty acids, alkanes and alkenes of blue‐green algal‐(diatomaceous)‐microbial mats and cores (modern cold water stromatolites) collected from three Antarctic lakes were identified and compared with those of other algae. The major stenols w...
