Confirmation of the Identification of the Major C-29 Hydrocarbons of Sarcina lutea

National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina 27709

ABSTRACT

Although there is agreement on the fact that Sarcina lutea strain FD-533 has branched C-29 monoalkenes as major hydrocarbon components, there is disagreement in the literature as to the nature of the branching. This has been resolved by analyses of the fatty acids produced by permanganate-periodate treatment of each of the resolvable hydrocarbon fractions making up the C-29 complex. The three major components are identified as doubly branched, ¹³ species with two iso terminations, one iso and one anteiso termination, and two anteiso terminations.
