Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The enzyme preparations from Flavobacterium meningosepticum solubilized by sonication catalyzed not only hydration of oleic acid to produce 10-hydroxystearic acid but dehydrogenation of this product. The mechanism of the hydration and dehydrogenation was proved by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry of 10-hydroxy and 10-oxostearic acids produced in the presence of D2O or H2(18)O. The activity of these enzymes was increased by preincubating Flavobacterium meningosepticum with oleic acid.
