Major fatty acids found in Glomales spores were palmitic acid (C16 0), stearic acid (Cl 8 0) and oleic acid (C18 l)(Table 2). A11-16 1 hexadecenoic acid appeared to be present in the majority of Glomales spores analyzed. Found abundantly in 9 of the 12 studied species, it remained absent from Gigaspora margarita, the sole representative of the studied Gigasporaceae. Further investigations with GC-MS would confirm the A11 position of the...
