We present observations of the 12CO(J=1-0) line at 2.6 mm
of 65 galaxies located in the Coma supercluster region: 33
actually belong to the Coma supercluster while 32 are either
foreground or background objects. These data have been obtained
using the NRAO 12 m telescope at Kitt Peak (United States), and
for four galaxies, using the IRAM 30 m telescope at Pico Veleta
(Spain). Out of these 65 galaxies, 54 had never been observed in
the CO(1-0) line; 49 have been detected by us, of which 37 are
new detections. We give molecular gas masses deduced from the CO
line integrated intensities, and upper limits for the 16
undetected objects, computed with a Galactic conversion factor
N() = 2.3 1020
I(CO) and H0 = 75 km/s/Mpc.
