Abstract

The hypothesis that aquatic macrophytes produce and include in their low molecular weight metabolome fewer fatty acids (in composition and content) under anthropogenic impact (eutrophication and pollution) than in clean, undisturbed, or slightly disturbed aquatic habitats (oligotrophic and mesotrophic conditions) was tested for the first time. The available data really give grounds to definitely speak about a decrease in the specific production of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids by macrophytes per unit of their biomass with an increase in the processes of eutrophication and pollution in aquatic ecosystems. The use of this pattern for the indicator assessment of anthropogenic influence on aquatic ecosystems is a significant practical application of this regularity.
