Cellular distribution and linkage of D-(-)-3-hydroxy fatty acids in Bacteroides species.
Two strains of Bacteroides asaccharolyticus and two strains of Bacteroides fragilis were analyzed for total fatty acid, total lipid fatty acid, and total bound fatty acid profiles. Extracted lipids and defatted cell residues were subjected to sequential alkaline and acid methanolyses to distinguish ester- and amide-linked fatty acids in each fraction. In the lipid fractions, all the ester-linke...
متن کاملCryptococcal 3-Hydroxy Fatty Acids Protect Cells Against Amoebal Phagocytosis
We previously reported on a 3-hydroxy fatty acid that is secreted via cryptococcal capsular protuberances - possibly to promote pathogenesis and survival. Thus, we investigated the role of this molecule in mediating the fate of Cryptococcus (C.) neoformans and the related species C. gattii when predated upon by amoebae. We show that this molecule protects cells against the phagocytic effects of...
متن کاملAntifungal 3-hydroxy fatty acids from Lactobacillus plantarum MiLAB 14.
We report the identification and chemical characterization of four antifungal substances, 3-(R)-hydroxydecanoic acid, 3-hydroxy-5-cis-dodecenoic acid, 3-(R)-hydroxydodecanoic acid and 3-(R)-hydroxytetradecanoic acid, from Lactobacillus plantarum MiLAB 14. The concentrations of the 3-hydroxy fatty acids in the supernatant followed the bacterial growth. Racemic mixtures of the saturated 3-hydroxy...
متن کاملFormation of extracellular C14-C18 2-D-hydroxy fatty acids by species of Saccharomycopsis.
Eighteen of 19 strains of Saccharomycopsis fibuligera and one of two strains of S. capsularis produced mixtures of C(14)-C(18) 2-D-hydroxy acids in liquid culture medium. The mixture of these acids showed antimicrobial activity against Vibrio tyrogenus but not against the other microorganisms tested. Candida lactosa, a recently described species, was shown to be an isolates of S. fibuligera.
متن کاملFatty Acids: Hydroxy and Other Oxygenated Structures, Occurrence and Biochemistry
The following is a guide to the more important naturally occurring fatty acids with hydroxy, epoxy (furanoid), methoxy and oxo substituents, but it is not intended to be a comprehensive list. The prostaglandins and other eicosanoids and the plant oxylipins are in essence fatty acids with additional oxygenated functional groups, but these are discussed elsewhere in this website. Similarly, hydro...
