This invention relates to a method for producing a glycolopid wherein at least one micro-organism strain capable of producing glycolipids is contacted with at least one carbohydrate substrate and at least one hydrophobic hydrocarbon substrate which responds to the chemical formula I or a salt or a methyl, ethyl or glycerol ester of the compound of formula I which contains at least one cleavable bond,
R10-R1-X-Y-Z-R2-R20 (formula I)
wherein
- Y is -O-, -S-, -NH-, a mono or di unsaturated bond
- X and Z may be the same or different and are chosen from the group of a-CO- group or a -CHn(CH2)m- group with m having a value between 0 and 4 and n between 0 and 2 which may be straight or branched
- R1 and R2 each are aliphatic hydrocarbon chains which may be the same or different chain, which may be branched or unbranched, may contain one of more unsaturated bonds and may contain one or more substituents
- R10 and R20 may be the same or different and are chosen from the group of
-H, -CH3, -CHO, -CH2OH, -COOH, -CHS, -CH2SH, -CN or -CH2NR3p, R3 being an aliphatic hydrocarbon chain or H, p being 1 or 2
- -R10-R1-X is a lipophilic moiety of the glycolipid
- -Z-R2-R 20 is an elongator part of the compound of formula I
wherein the number of atoms in the chain determining the chain length of formula I is between 14 and 22, preferably between 16 and 18
and in that the at least one cleavable bond is broken to remove the elongator part from the sophorolipid to obtain a short chained glycolipid.
本发明涉及一种生产糖脂的方法,其中至少一种能够生产糖脂的微生物菌株与至少一种碳水化合物底物和至少一种疏水烃底物接触,该底物与化学式 I 或盐或含有至少一个可裂解键的式 I 化合物的甲酯、乙酯或甘油酯反应、
R10-R1-X-Y-Z-R2-R20(式 I)
其中
- Y 是-O-、-S-、-NH-、一元或二元不饱和键
- X 和 Z 可以相同或不同,并选自-CO-基团或-CHn(CH2)m-基团,其中 m 的值在 0 和 4 之间,n 在 0 和 2 之间,可以是直链或支链基团
- R1 和 R2 各为脂肪族烃链,可以是相同或不同的链,可以是支链或非支链,可以含有一个或多个不饱和键,可以含有一个或多个取代基
- R10 和 R20 可以相同或不同,并选自以下组别
-H、-CH3、-CHO、-CH2OH、-COOH、-CHS、-CH2SH、-CN 或 -CH2NR3p,R3 为脂族烃链或 H,p 为 1 或 2。
-R10-R1-X是糖脂的亲脂分子
-Z-R2-R20是式 I 化合物的伸长剂部分
其中决定式 I 链长的链中原子数在 14 至 22 之间,最好在 16 至 18 之间
至少一个可裂解键被断开,以从槐脂中去除伸长剂部分,从而得到短链糖脂。
