Simone Hauff et al.
Journal of chromatography. A, 1217(10), 1683-1687 (2010-02-02)
Gas chromatography in combination with electron ionization mass spectrometry (GC/EI-MS) was used to determine the fatty acids of a membrane lipid from Bacillus megaterium. Special attention was put on the structure and absolute configuration of a monoenoic fatty acid previously

Two Bacillus subtilis mutants defective in branched-chain alpha-ketoacid dehydrogenase can grow when 2-methylbutyrate is provided in trypticase soy medium. Both enantiomers of the acid supported growth of the mutants but the (S)-(+)-isomer (natural) was more active than the (R)-(-)-isomer (unnatural).

Neoplasma, 32(3), 323-334 (1985-01-01)
Labeled 14-methylhexadecanoic acid was administered to normal rats, animals bearing the Walker 256 tumor at various stages of its growth and to tumor-resistant rats and its distribution in lipids (free fatty acids, triglycerides, phospholipids and cholesteryl esters) was studied during
Ramona Jenske et al.
Chemistry and physics of lipids, 154(1), 26-32 (2008-04-15)
Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) has been applied to study the effect of free hydroxylated and methyl-branched fatty acids on the physico-chemical properties of lipid membranes. First, the impact of free hydroxy fatty acids (HFAs) on dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) model membranes was
Saskia Thurnhofer et al.
Analytical chemistry, 79(12), 4696-4701 (2007-05-19)
Anteiso fatty acids (aFAs)-long-chain carboxylic acids with a methyl branch on the (n - 2)-carbon-are among the most simple fatty acids that are chiral. The most frequently occurring aFAs in food are 12-methyltetradecanoic acid (a15:0) and 14-methylhexadecanoic acid (a17:0), structures
