Ni. Kalinovskaya et al., Structural characterization of gentiobiosyl diglycerides from Bacillus pumilus associated with ascidia Halocynthia aurantium, RUSS CHEM B, 49(1), 2000, pp. 169-173
A mixture of 1(3),2-di-0-acyl-3(1)-O-beta-gentiobiosylglycerols was isolate
d from a sea isolate of Bacillus pumilus. The components of the mixture wer
e structurally characterized by mass spectrometry and H-1 and C-13 NMR spec
troscopy data for the native compounds and their derivatives. The predomina
nt component contains two C-15 acyl groups, while the second component cont
ains C15 and C-17 fatty acids. Six minor components differ in residues of f
atty acids and/or their combinations.
