Analysis of the fatty acid composition of Caulerpa lentillifera using gas chromatography mass spectrometry

Caulerpa lentillifera or which also known as Sea Grape or Green Caviar is a type of green seaweed from the class of Caurlepacea, order of Caulerpales, family of Caulerpaceae, genus of Caulerpa and species of Lentillifera They are common components of seaweed communities in tropical and subtropical w...
