Substrate specificity of regiospecific desaturation of aliphatic compounds by a mutant Rhodococcus strain.

Substrate specificity of cis-desaturation of alipahtic compounds by resting cells of a mutant, Rhodococcus sp. strain KSM-MT66, was examined. Among substrates tested, the rhodococcal cells were able to convert n-alkanes (C13-C19), 1-chloroalkanes (C16 and C18), ethyl fatty acids (C14-C17) and alkyl (C1-C4) esters of palmitic acid to their corresponding unsaturated products of cis configuration. The products from n-alkanes and 1-chloroalkanes had a double bond mainly at the 9th carbon from their terminal methyl groups, and the products from acyl fatty acids had a double bond mainly at the 6th carbon from their carbonyl carbons.

Collimonins A-D, Unstable Polyynes with Antifungal or Pigmentation Activities from the Fungus-Feeding Bacterium Collimonas fungivorans Ter331

The isolation and structure elucidation of collimonins A-D (1-4) from the fungus-feeding bacterium Collimonas fungivorans Ter331 are reported. Collimonins are new derivatives of polyoxygenated hexadecanoic acid, including an ene-triyne moiety. Their absolute configurations were fully determined by combining spectroscopic, chemical, and crystalline sponge methods. Collimonins showed antifungal or pigmentation activities against the fungus Aspergillus niger ATCC 9029.
