The hydrocarbon and lipid components of four strains of the filamentous cyanobacterium Scytonema sp. isolated from microbial community "Black Cover" of limestone walls in Jerusalem were identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry using serially coupled capillary columns. The dominant compounds were: 1-heptadecyne (1.5-8%), hexadecanoic acid (14-36%), (Z,Z)-9,12-octadecadienoic acid (12-30%), (Z,Z,Z)-9,12,15-octadecatrienoic acid (6-12%), n-heptadecane (4-16%), and 1-heptadecene (1.5-8%). In addition to unsaturated alkanes and fatty acids, the very long-chain (C-30-C-32) hydrocarbons, squalene (2.4-3.0%), and branched 4,8,12-trimethyl-C-13:0 acid were also isolated. Two major hydrocarbons were detected in the cyanobacteria species using GC-MS and C-13-NMR.
