Abstract

Esters and hydrocarbons, containing 14 and 15 carbon atoms, are converted to the hydroxy fatty acid portions of glycosides by Torulopsis apicola in yields of 10-20%. When C-15 compounds are fermented, almost half of the hydroxy acids which are produced are 16- hydroxy C-17 acids. The carbon chain of the substrate is first lengthened by two carbon atoms and then hydroxylated. Direct hydroxylation also occurs, to a lesser extent, giving ...
