Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The delta6 monoenoic methoxylated FA (6Z)-2-methoxy-6-heptadecenoic acid and (6Z)-2-methoxy-6-octadecenoic acid were identified for the first time in nature in the phospholipids from the uncommon Caribbean sponge Spheciospongia cuspidifera. These findings expand the occurrence of A6 2-methoxylated FA to C17-C18 chain lengths and establish a new FA biosynthetic possibility for these marine organisms. The novel methoxylated FA also could have originated from the phospholipids of a bacterium in symbiosis with the sponge. |
