Abstract
A new microbial isolate (Bacillus cereus 50) transformed 12-hydroxyoct adecanoic acid to 12-hydroxyoctadecanamide when grown aerobically in 1 % yeast extract medium at 30 degrees C, shaken at 250 rpm for 2 to 5 d . The compound was purified by thin-layer chromatography and character ized by infrared, gas chromatography, mass spectrometry, and nuclear m agnetic resonance. The yields of 12-hydroxyoctadecanamide were 9.1 and 21.5% after 2 and 5 d, respectively.
