Abstract excerpt
Substrate specificity of cis-desaturation of alipahtic compounds by resting cells of a mutant, Rhodococcus sp. strain KSM-MT66, was examined. Among substrates tested, the rhodococcal cells were able to convert n-alkanes (C13-C19), 1-chloroalkanes (C16 and C18), ethyl fatty acids (C14-C17) and alkyl (C1-C4) esters of palmitic acid to their corresponding unsaturated products of cis configuration. The products from...
