Abstract
9(Z)-Octadecenamide, hexadecenamide, tetradecenamide and tetradecanami de were produced by a novel bioconversion of oleic acid with Bacillus megaterium NRRL B-3437. Although chemical synthesis is more practical, the bioconversion to fatty amides (5-7% of total recovered lipids) wa s unique for its requirement of both enzymatic catalysis and equimolar oleic acid/ammonium salt substrates. Purified octadecenamide was obta ined by silica gel and high-pressure liquid chromatographic procedures and was characterized by gas chromatography, mass spectrometry, infra red and nuclear magnetic resonance.
