14-Methylpentadecanoic Acid(CAT: C000537) holds significance in the fields of biochemistry and environmental science. It is a fatty acid present in the soft tissues of the Far-East bivalve mollusk Spisula sachalinensis. This compound’s presence highlights its role as a constituent of the mollusk’s biochemical makeup. Moreover, 14-Methylpentadecanoic Acid serves as a lipid biomarker for microbial communities within hydrothermal chimney structures. Its identification within these structures aids in understanding microbial ecology and processes occurring in extreme environments.
