Abstract

Lipids and fatty acids from the lichen Rhizoplaca peltata, growing either high in the mountains or in nearby foothills, were analysed and compared. It was shown that the same lichen species had considerable differences in the content of triacylglycerols, free sterols, wax esters, steryl esters, glycolipids, betaine and phospholipids, as well as in fatty acid content, depending on altitude.
