Summary

A new microbial isolate, Bacillus sp. U88, transformed 12-hydroxyoctadecanoic acid to 12,15-, 12,16- and 12,17-dihydroxyoctadecanoic acids when grown aerobically in 1 % yeast extract medium at 30°C and shaken at 250 rpm for 5 days. These three dihydroxyfatty acids were derivatized with Trimethylsilyl ether and identified by GC-MS analysis. The yield of 12,15-, 12,16- and 12,17-dihydroxyoctadecanoic acids after 5 day incubation were 2.8 %, 7.1 % and 1.1 %, respectively.
