Diglucosyl-glycerolipids from the marine sponge-associated Bacillus pumilus strain AAS3: their production, enzymatic modification and properties.

Appl. Microbiol. Biotechnol. 64(4) , 497-504, (2004)

The marine strain Bacillus pumilus strain AAS3, isolated from the Mediterranean sponge Acanthella acuta, produced a diglucosyl-glycerolipid, 1,2-O-diacyl-3-[beta-glucopyranosyl-(1-6)-beta-glucopyranosyl)]glycerol, with 14-methylhexadecanoic acid and 12-methyl...

Structure and absolute configuration of an unsaturated anteiso fatty acid from Bacillus megaterium.

J. Chromatogr. A. 1217 , 1683-1687, (2010)

Gas chromatography in combination with electron ionization mass spectrometry (GC/EI-MS) was used to determine the fatty acids of a membrane lipid from Bacillus megaterium. Special attention was put on the structure and absolute configuration of a monoenoic fa...

Impact of free hydroxylated and methyl-branched fatty acids on the organization of lipid membranes.

Chem. Phys. Lipids 154 , 26-32, (2008)

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) has been applied to study the effect of free hydroxylated and methyl-branched fatty acids on the physico-chemical properties of lipid membranes. First, the impact of free hydroxy fatty acids (HFAs) on dimyristoylphospha...

Enantioselective analysis of chiral anteiso fatty acids in the polar and neutral lipids of food.

Lipids 45 , 357-365, (2010)

Anteiso fatty acids (aFA) are substituted with a methyl group on the antepenultimate carbon of the straight acyl chain. This feature leads to a stereogenic center. The 12-methyltetradecanoic acid (a15:0) and the 14-methylhexadecanoic acid (a17:0) are the most...

Enantioselective determination of anteiso fatty acids in food samples.

Anal. Chem. 79(12) , 4696-701, (2007)

Anteiso fatty acids (aFAs)-long-chain carboxylic acids with a methyl branch on the (n - 2)-carbon-are among the most simple fatty acids that are chiral. The most frequently occurring aFAs in food are 12-methyltetradecanoic acid (a15:0) and 14-methylhexadecano...

Stereoselectivity in the 2-methylbutyrate incorporation into anteiso fatty acids in Bacillus subtilis mutants.

Biochim. Biophys. Acta 960(1) , 10-8, (1988)

Two Bacillus subtilis mutants defective in branched-chain alpha-ketoacid dehydrogenase can grow when 2-methylbutyrate is provided in trypticase soy medium. Both enantiomers of the acid supported growth of the mutants but the (S)-(+)-isomer (natural) was more ...

The unusual occurrence of 14-methylhexadecanoic acid in Pinaceae seed oils among plants.

Lipids 32(9) , 971-3, (1997)

14-Methylhexadecanoic (14-MHD) acid has been identified in a sample of pine seed oil (Pinus contorta) by gas-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry of its picolinyl ester derivative. Its identification (through its equivalent chain length) and its distributi...

Enhanced utilization of 14-methylhexadecanoic acid for the synthesis of lipids during the growth of Walker 256 carcinoma in rats.

Neoplasma 32(3) , 323-34, (1985)

Labeled 14-methylhexadecanoic acid was administered to normal rats, animals bearing the Walker 256 tumor at various stages of its growth and to tumor-resistant rats and its distribution in lipids (free fatty acids, triglycerides, phospholipids and cholesteryl...
