Fatty acid metabolism in Serratia marcescens: III. The constituent fatty acids of the cell

D. G. Bishop and J. L. Still

Department of Biochemistry, University of Sydney, Sydney, Australia

An analysis of the lipids of the bacterium Serratia marcescens has shown that palmitic acid and 9,10-methylenehexadecanoic acid constitute about 75% of the total fatty acids. Monounsaturated acids account for only about 10% of the total fatty acid and consist predominantly of 9,10-hexadecenoic acid (palmitoleic acid) and 11,12-octadecenoic acid (vaccenic acid). Three hydroxy acids that may function as intermediates in the biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids have also been isolated and characterized.
