The bacterial transformation of abietic acid.
نویسندگان
چکیده
An Alcaligenes species, which was isolated from soil, can utilize abietic acid as its sole carbon source. During growth, the bacterium transforms abietic acid into 5alpha-hydroxyabietic acid (I, R=OH), a product considered to be 7beta-hydroxy-13-isopropyl-8xi-podocarp-13-en-15-oic acid (II, R=H) and a compound, C(20)H(28)O(3), which is believed to be an epoxy-gamma-lactone.

Biotransformation of Dehydroabietic, Abietic, and Isopimaric Acids by Mortierella isabellina Immobilized in Polyurethane Foam.
Polyurethane foam supports immobilization of Mortierella isabellina ATCC 38063, a zygomycete that hydroxylates and thereby detoxifies resin acids found in certain pulp mill effluents. The fungus becomes entrapped as it threads growing mycelia through the open foam matrix. The tenacity of binding and the amount of biomass bound depend on initial spore numbers and nutrient concentration. Optimal ...
متن کاملSynthesis of Silver Abietate as an Antibacterial Agent for Textile Applications
This study explored the potential use of new silver abietate obtained from abietic acid as an antibacterial agent for textile applications. Synthesis, structure, and antibacterial studies of silver abietate compound are reported. Silver complex was obtained reacting abietic acid with silver. The new compounds were characterized by (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR, DEPT, IR, UV, and ESI-MS techniques which s...
