Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Algologically pure culture of microalgae Botryococcus braunii was obtained from Alakol Bay of Balkhash Lake.The ability of the selected cultures to synthesize liquid hydrocarbons and fatty acids was revealed.The composition of the lipid compound of investigated microalgae depending on the composition of natural medium was established.Hydrocarbon composition of obtained biomasswas identified, presented mainly by n-alkanes C21-C38, which constitute 41-62 % of their total number.Fatty acid composition of intracellular and extracellular lipids is represented by saturated, monounsaturated and diene fatty acids of the C12-C24 composition in the ratio of 32:18:38, respectively, indicating the potential for using of this microalgae as raw material forbiodiesel.
