📖 Abstract
Isolation of the blue-green alga Westiellopsis prolifica from the waters of the Euphrates River (upper Euphrates River in Iraq) in the city of Haditha in October 2019 and was propagated on BG11 culture media. Six types of compounds were identified from it: Acetic acid, anhydride with formic acid, Palmitic acid (Hexadecanoic acid), Tryptophan, Dihydrogeraniol, cisZ-11,12-Epoxytetradecan-1-ol, cisZ-11,12-Epoxytetradecan-1-ol, and Oxirane, (7-octenyl). Using the technique of gas chromatography - mass spectrometry [GC-mass] Gas Chromatography Mass. The compounds were identified and the structural formula of each compound, its molecular weight and concentration were identified. It was found that the compound Dihydrogeraniol, with the structural formula C10H20O, had the largest area of the total area of the compounds detected by this device and was the most concentrated, as its concentration reached 23.27% of the total concentration of the diagnosed compounds, followed by the concentration of the amino acid Tryptophan
