Characterization of Novel Methyl-Branched Chain Fatty Acids from a Halophilic Bacillus Species
摘要:
The 4-methylated fatty acids 4,9-dimethyldecanoic, 4,11-dimethyldodecanoic, 4,10-dimethyldodecanoic, and 4,13-dimethyltetradecanoic acid as well as the 2-methylated fatty acids 2,13-dimethyltetradecanoic and 2, 12-dimethyltetradecanoic acid were identified for the first time in nature in the halophilic bacterium Bacillus sp. isolated from the salt pans of Burgas in Bulgaria. The principal fatty acids in this bacterium were a series of iso-anteiso fatty acids with chain lengths between C-11 and C-19, but an interesting series of linear alkylbenzene fatty acids with chain lengths between C-10 and C-14, such as 12-phenyldodecanoic acid, were also identified. The novel 4-methylated fatty acids were characterized using a combination of GC-MS and chemical transformations such as N-acylpyrrolidide derivatization. The 2-methylated fatty acids were also identified by GC-MS and gas chromatographic coelution with synthetic samples. The novel methyl-branched fatty acids probably originated from the selective incorporation of methylmalonyl-CoA by one of the fatty acid-synthesizing enzymes of the bacterium.

structures for all FAMEs have been suggested based on their massspectra and on a retention index increment system and verified by the synthesis of key reference compounds. In addition, the structures of two FAMEs, methyl 4,8-dimethyldodecanoate and the ethyl-branched compound methyl 8-ethyl-4-methyldodecanoate were deduced from their massspectra.
