The fatty acid composition of the moss Rhytididelphus squarrosus (Hedw.) Warnst. (Hylocomiaceae) collected in Germany during winter time was analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Nine fatty acids were identified in its chloroform:methanol extract 1:1: arachidonic acid (30.7%), alpha-linolenic acid (19.1%), linoleic acid (15.1%), cis-5,8,11,14,17-eicosapentaenoic acid (14.4%), palmitic acid (11.9%), cis-8,11,14- eicosatrienoic acid (4.1%), oleic acid (2.3%), gama-linolenic acid (1.4%) and stearic acid (1.0%). The results indicate that this plant species can be a good source of arachidonic acid collected during the winter.
