The Identification of cis-11,12-Methylene-2-hydroxyoctadecanoic Acid from Thiobacillus thiooxidans

The Identification of cis=ll ,l%Methylene=2=hydroxyoctadecanoic Acid from Thiobacillus thiooxidans*

A polar fatty acid has been observed as a component of an ornithine-containing lipid of Thiobacillus thiooxidans. A comparison of thin layer chromatographic mobilities of reference compounds to those of the natural acid and its derivatives suggested that the acid was a 2-hydroxy fatty acid. The presence of a cyclopropane function in the acid was indicated by W-labeling experiments and infrared ...

The Identification of cis-II, I2-Methylene-2-hydroxyoctadecanoicAcid from Thiobacillus thiooxidans

Fine Structure of Thiobacillus thiooxidans.

Mahoney, Robert P. (Skidmore College, Saratoga Springs, N.Y.), and Mercedes R. Edwards. Fine structure of Thiobacillus thiooxidans. J. Bacteriol. 92: 487-495. 1966.-Thin section analysis of the chemosynthetic autotroph Thiobacillus thiooxidans revealed structures comparable to gram-negative heterotrophic bacteria. Although this species is unique in that it oxidizes elemental sulfur for energy, ...

Extracellular lipid of Thiobacillus thiooxidans.

The extracellular lipid of Thiobacillus thiooxidans is a heterogeneous mixture of phospholipid and neutral lipid, primarily free fatty acids.
