The preparation and characterization of a series of deuterium-labeled intermediates used in the study of the biosynthetic pathway for disparlure, the sex pheromone of Lymantria dispar , is reported. The synthetic route starts with propargyl alcohol, and the deuterium atoms are introduced by ...
Fatty Acid Synthesis In plants, fatty acids are made in the stroma ofplastidsand are mostly modified in theendoplasmic reticulum(ER) (Figure 3). Plant fatty acidbiosynthesisstarts withacetyl CoAcarboxylase (ACCase) catalyzed condensation of acetyl CoA with CO2to form malonylCoA. Subsequently, atrans...
As an alternative to the use of plant-derived TAGs, the microbial production of free fatty acids (FFA) or FFA-derived biofuels offers a great potential due to short production times and very low land-use. To reduce the competition with food, the use of cellulose, lignin, hemicellulose, CO2...

1. A method of making functionalized fatty acids, comprising: a) growing a genetically engineered microbe in a medium for a time sufficient to allow production of a functionalized fatty acid, said microbe comprising: i) a β-ketoacyl-acyl carrier protein synthase III (KASIII) independent fatty...
Purified eukaryotic FAS II enzymes are catalytically active in vitro using substrates with an acyl chain length of up to 16 carbon atoms. However, with the exception of 3-hydroxymyristoyl-ACP, a component of respiratory complex I in higher eukaryotes, the fate of long-chain fatty acids ...
Organic acids and their salts as dipping solutions to control listeria monocytogenes inoculated following processing of sliced pork bologna stored at 4 deg... Postprocessing contamination of cured meats with Listeria monocytogenes has become a major concern for the meat processing industry and an ...
The steady-state size of bacterial cells correlates with nutrient-determined growth rate. Here, we explore how rod-shaped bacterial cells regulate their morphology during rapid environmental changes. We quantify cellular dimensions throughout passage cyc
In detail, our overall approach is based on the use of fatty acids as starting materials and after hydroformylation the corresponding aldehydes are formed, which are transformed into the aldoximes by spontaneous condensation with hydroxylamine. Then, aldoximes are dehydrated under formation of the result...
The Soxhlet technique was initially developed by Franz Ritter von Soxhlet in 1879, to extract fatty acids from milk. Thanks to the low cost of the equipment and the possibility to perform several extractions simultaneously, this method was adapted to various biomolecule extractions across the years...
