Fatty acid profiles of Antarctic cyanobacteria Leptolyngbya
Antarctic cyanobacteria may represent a potential resource of new and unique compounds with interesting capabilities. Profiling of fatty acids in Antarctic cyanobacteria can provide an overview of potential fatty acids present in them, that can be utilised in future applications. In total, 4 cyanoba...

Antarctic cyanobacteria may represent a potential resource of new and unique compounds with interesting capabilities.
