“…Branched hydrocarbons are also widely distributed in plant waxes, al though only in a few cases such as tobacco (Mold et aL, 1963;Kaneda, 1967;Kolattukudy, 1968a) and some Aeonium species (Eglinton et aL, 1962) do they constitute a major portion (nearly 50%) of the hydrocarbons. Generally iso-(2-methyl) and anteiso-(3-methyl) hydrocarbons, with odd and even numbers of carbon atoms, respectively, are the major branched hydrocar bons found in plant waxes, although hydrocarbons with internal and/or mul tiple methyl branches, and even cyclic structures, have been found as minor components (Kolattukudy and Walton, 1973).…”

“…Even chain anteiso and odd chain iso hydrocarbons have been observed in several plants (MOLD et al, 1963 ;BRIESKORN and FEILNER, 1968;KOLATTUKUDY, 1970), whereas in animals usually only the iso (HUTCHINS and MARTIN, 1968) or ante& (ARMOLD et al, 1969 ;TARTIVXTA and JACKSON, 1970) components are present.…”

Abstract-The total hydrocarbons of the millipede Graphidostreptus tumu&porus contain 10 per cent saturated components. The composition of the saturated hydrocarbons from males, females, and eggs is reported.Straight-chain alkanes (n-C16-n-C38) constitute 59 to 75 per cent of the saturated hydrocarbons with a strong predominance of odd chain over even chain homologues. Several types of branched-chain alkanes are also present: 2-methyl (iso), 3-methyl (anteiso), and at least one other type of branching.In males and females the most abundant n-alkane is nonacosane (n-C&,) (21.67 and 32.10 per cent, respectively), whereas in eggs heptacosane (n-C,,) predominates (9.90 per cent). The composition of the n-alkanes in males and femaks resembles the values obtained for plant hydrocarbons, indicating that part of the saturated hydrocarbons is probably derived from the food. The fow content of n-Cl,, in the eggs (7.70 per cent) may indicate that the hydrocarbons of the ingested food are not deposited into the egg lipid in equal amounts.
