This investigation was conducted to characterize the algal inhibitory material originally isolated by Proctor (1957b) from Chlamydomonas. Analysis of purified extracts demonstrated that the inhibitor was a mixture of fatty acids . The identity and relative percentages of most of the components of the mixture were determined by GLC analysis . There is evidence that unsaturated fatty acids were responsible for the majority of the toxicity .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
