Odd-numbered very-long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids from the dinoflagellate Amphidinium carterae identified by atmospheric pressure chemical ionization liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry

Enrichment of odd very-long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (VLCPUFAs) from total fatty acids of Amphidinium carterae by RP-HPLC and argentation TLC and their identification as picolinyl esters by microbore LC-MS was used to identify rare and unusual odd VLCPUFAs up to nonacosahexaenoic acid.
