Fatty acid composition of three species of Codium (Bryopsidales, Chlorophyta) in Chile

The fatty acid compositions of algae show characteristic patterns accoding to species. This paper is the first to identify and compare the main fatty acids of the two endemic Codium species: C. dimorphum and C. fernandezianum found in Chile. In addition the fatty acids of the introduced species C. f...
