Using glucose/rac. 2-alkanols as carbon sources for the cultivation of Candida bombicola novel types of sophorose lipids were isolated as major products.Among all lipophilic constituents 2-alkanol was found as the major hydrophobic moiety (> 75%) involved in three new sophorose lipids differing only in the degree of acetylation of the sophorose. Additional monooxygenation of the alcohol leads to the incorporation of 2,(e-1)-alkandiol; glycolipids with up to four glucose units were obtained.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
