The occurrence of jasmonic acid and its related compounds in Chlorella and Spirulina cells was studied using a gas-liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (selected ion monitoring system, GC/SIM). Jasmonic acid was identified in the ethyl acetate soluble-acidic material of Chlorella and Spirulina, and its methyl ester form, methyl jasmonate, was also identified in the ethyl acetate soluble-neutral material of Chlorella. These results suggest that jasmonic acid and its related compounds are widely distributed in the plant kingdom.
