Corynebacterium sp.S-401 was isolated from soil using squalene as carbon source.Microbiological properties of this bacterium are described.The five metabolic products of this bacterium from squalene were indentified as mono-, di-, tri-, tetra-, and pentahydrated squalene.The resting cells of the bacterium catalyzed the hydration of oleic acid to give (-)-10R-hydroxyoctadecanoic acid and further oxidized product, 10-oxooctadecanoic acid, was also isolated from the reaction mixture.
