| Abstract: | The amount and composition of fatty acids in the fungus Stilbella aciculosa associated with the marine macroorganism Apostichopus japonica (trepang) were determined by gas-liquid chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. In the culture liquid of S. aciculosa, prostaglandins (PG) of groups E and F were revealed by UV spectroscopy. This finding was confirmed by the presence of direct precursors of PG, polyunsaturated eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids, in the culture liquid. The biomass of this fungus contained PG of group B. |
