Abstract
Three minor omega-cycloheptyl fatty acids from Alicyclobacillus cycloh eptanicus have been identified as omega-cycloheptylnonanoate, -decanoa te, and -alpha-hydroxytridecanoate. The biosynthetic interrelations of these cyclic fatty acids have been studied, C-13-Labeled omega-cycloh eptylundecanoate and -alpha-hydroxyundecanoate were converted to omega -cycloheptyldecanoate, which is one carbon shorter in length. alpha-Hy droxylation of omega-cycloheptylundecanote was also observed, but not chain extension to omega-cycloheptyltridecanoate.
