In vitro effects of sterculic acid on lipid biosynthesis inRhodococcus opacusstrain PD630 and isolation of mutants defective in fatty acid desaturation

Abstract: The in vivo effects of sterculic acid methyl ester on triacylglycerol fatty acid composition in the oleaginous, hydrocarbon-degrading bacterium R. opacus strain PD630 was investigated. Sterculic acid, a cyclopropene fatty acid and an inhibitor of the stearoyl-CoA desaturase system, strongly inhibited the synthesis of monoenic fatty acids, of saturated fatty acids with more than 16 carbon atoms and of odd-numbered fatty acids when added to the culture medium. In addition, chemical mutagenesis and the applicatio… Show more

“…Sterculic acidis is an inhibitor of the stearoyl-CoA desaturase, when added it to the medium, it could inhibit the saturated fatty acids synthesis of more than 16 carbon atoms and of odd-numbered fatty acids (Jeffcoat and Pollard, 1977). There was an almost complete growth suppression of Rhodococcus opacus PD630 when added 0.25 mM sterculic acid in the medium and the total fatty acid content was decreased to 46.7% (w/w), while the content of total fatty acid was 76% when did not added sterculic acid in the medium (Wältermann and Steinbüchel, 2000). The ratio of stearic to oleic acid showed a dose response effect, with an increase in cyclopropene fatty acid dose, stearic acid content also increased with a corresponding reduction in oleic acid when subjected to Candida sp.…”

“…In addition, DAG can also be derived from PL by the action of phospholipase C 7,126 The distribution of acyl groups on the hydroxyl groups of the glycerol backbone is nonrandom, as has been demonstrated for R. opacus PD630. 6,127 The shorter and saturated fatty acids were esterified to the hydroxyl group at position 2, whereas unsaturated fatty acids were preferentially found at position 3. This distribution in bacterial TAG is different from the TAG of mammals and plants, where the longer unsaturated fatty acids are found at position sn-2.…”

“…Sterculic acid is one kind of cyclopropene fatty acid, which can be used as an inhibitor of the stearoylCoA desaturase system to inhibit the synthesis of monoenic fatty acids (James et al, 1968;Jeffcoat and Pollard, 1968;Reiser and Raju, 1964;Wältermann and Steinbüchel, 2000). Sterculic acid also can inhibit mammary carcinoma growth in rats (Khoo et al, 1991).…”
