Preparation and properties of gem-dichlorocyclopropane derivatives of long-chain fatty esters.

Lipids 27(1) , 59-64, (1992)

Methyl oleate (18:1) and linoleate (18:2) were readily transformed to the corresponding gem-dichlorocyclopropane derivatives in high yield, using triethylbenzylammonium chloride as the phase-transfer catalyst in the presence of aqueous NaOH and CHCl3. Reactio...

Metabolism of fatty acid in yeast: characterisation of beta-oxidation and ultrastructural changes in the genus Sporidiobolus sp. cultivated on ricinoleic acid methyl ester.

FEMS Microbiol. Lett. 250(1) , 63-9, (2005)

Cell structure modifications and beta-oxidation induction were monitored in two strains of Sporidiobolus, Sp. Ruinenii and Sp. pararoseus after cultivation on ricinoleic acid methyl ester. Ultrastructural observations of the yeast before and after cultivation...

Medium-size droplets of methyl ricinoleate are reduced by cell-surface activity in the gamma-decalactone production by Yarrowia lipolytica.

Lett. Appl. Microbiol. 30(3) , 183-7, (2000)

Size of methyl ricinoleate droplets during biotransformation into gamma-decalactone by Yarrowia lipolytica was measured in both homogenized and non-homogenized media. In non-homogenized but shaken medium, droplets had an average volume surface diameter d32 of...

Surface properties of Yarrowia lipolytica and their relevance to gamma-decalactone formation from methyl ricinoleate.

Biotechnol. Lett. 27(6) , 417-22, (2005)

The surface of the lipid-degrading yeast, Yarrowia lipolytica, was characterized by contact angle and zeta potential (zeta) measurements. The cells were mainly hydrophilic with a negative charge that was only affected from pH 2 to 4. To study the effects of t...

Bioconversion of methyl ricinoleate to 4-hydroxy-decanoic acid and to gamma-decalactone by yeasts of the genus Candida.

J. Basic Microbiol. 35(5) , 285-92, (1995)

The capacity of several strains of yeasts to do the bioconversion of methyl ricinoleate into gamma-decalactone, was studied in a medium containing this methylic ester of fatty acid as sole carbon source. Amongst the strains which are able to do this bioconver...

Oil-in-water emulsions characterization by laser granulometry and impact on γ-decalactone production in Yarrowia lipolytica.

Biotechnol. Lett. 33(8) , 1601-6, (2011)

Oil-in-water emulsions composed of methyl ricinoleate (MR) or castor oil (CO) as the organic phase, stabilized by Tween 80, are in the basis of the biotechnological production of γ-decalactone. Yarrowia lipolytica was used due to its ability to grow on hydrop...

Ultrasound in fatty acid chemistry: synthesis of a 1-pyrroline fatty acid ester isomer from methyl ricinoleate.

Lipids 29(12) , 889-92, (1994)

A novel 1-pyrroline fatty acid ester isomer (viz. 8-5-hexyl-1-pyrrolin-2-yl) octanoate) has been synthesized from methyl ricinoleate by two routes with an overall yield of 42 and 30%, respectively. Most of the reactions are carried out under concomitant ultra...

Increased electron donor and electron acceptor characters enhance the adhesion between oil droplets and cells of Yarrowia lipolytica as evaluated by a new cytometric assay.

J. Agric. Food Chem. 51(10) , 3007-11, (2003)

The adhesion of methyl ricinoleate droplets to cells of the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica was investigated. A new cytometric method, relying on the double staining of fatty globules with Nile Red and of cells with Calcofluor, enabled us to quantify methyl ricinol...

Catabolism of hydroxyacids and biotechnological production of lactones by Yarrowia lipolytica.

Appl. Microbiol. Biotechnol. 61(5-6) , 393-404, (2003)

The gamma- and delta-lactones of less than 12 carbons constitute a group of compounds of great interest to the flavour industry. It is possible to produce some of these lactones through biotechnology. For instance, gamma-decalactone can be obtained by biotran...

Role of beta-oxidation enzymes in gamma-decalactone production by the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica.

Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 67(12) , 5700-4, (2001)

Some microorganisms can transform methyl ricinoleate into gamma-decalactone, a valuable aroma compound, but yields of the bioconversion are low due to (i) incomplete conversion of ricinoleate (C(18)) to the C(10) precursor of gamma-decalactone, (ii) accumulat...
