Abstract
The fatty acid group in Acinetobacter calcoaceticus emulsan was modifi ed by using different carbon sources. The major components of the fatt y acid group were 3-hydroxydodecanoic acid (3-HDDA), hexadecanoic acid , and octadecenoic acid. Among these, 3-HDDA was found to have the mos t important influence on the emulsifying activity of the emulsan.
