Neutral lipid biosynthesis in engineered Escherichia coli: jojoba oil-like wax esters and fatty acid butyl esters.
Wax esters are esters of long-chain fatty acids and long-chain fatty alcohols which are of considerable commercial importance and are produced on a scale of 3 million tons per year. The oil from the jojoba plant (Simmondsia chinensis) is the main biological source of wax esters. Although it has a multitude of potential applications, the use of jojoba oil is restricted, due to its high price. In...
متن کاملNonpolar lipid methylation. Biosynthesis of fatty acid methyl esters by rat lung membranes using S-adenosylmethionine.
Fatty acid methyl esters are the major radioactive lipid products obtained after incubation of rat lung membranes with [methyl-3H or 14C]S-adenosylmethionine. Evidence which suggests an enzymatic transmethylation includes: time and protein dependence, lack of reaction at 0 degrees C or with heat-denatured membranes, an apparent affinity for S-adenosylmethionine of about 1 microM, inhibition by ...
متن کاملProducing Wax Esters in Transgenic Plants by Expression of Genes Derived from Jojoba
Jojoba [Simmondsia chinensis, Simmondsiaceae, (Link) Schnieder], a native of deserts of the American Southwest, is unusual and perhaps unique amongst higher plants in that its seed storage lipids are liquid waxes rather than triglycerides. These waxes are esters of long chain (mostly; C20, C22, and C24), monounsaturated, fatty acids and alcohols. The waxes are produced in developing embryos dur...
متن کاملNovel fatty acid esters of p-coumaryl alcohol in epicuticular wax of apple fruit.
Hexane extracts of epicuticular wax from cv. Gala apples were noted to have an unusual, broad absorbance maximum at approximately 258 nm, which led us to isolate and identify the primary UV-absorbing compounds. Column and thin-layer chromatography yielded a fraction that gave a series of paired, 260-nm-absorbing peaks on C(18) HPLC. These were shown to be a family of phenolic fatty acid esters,...
متن کاملAnaLYsIs oF Sucrose FattY AcID Esters
Supercritical uid chromatography (SFC) coupled with triple quadrupole mass spectrometry was applied to the pro ling of sucrose fatty acid esters (SEs). e SFC conditions (column and modi er gradient) were optimized for the e ective separation of SEs. In the column test, a silica gel reversed-phase column was selected. en, the method was used for the detailed characterization of commercial SEs an...
