Abstract

Abstract A soluble enzyme preparation from a pseudomonad was shown to catalyze the conversion of linoleic acid to 10d-hydroxy-cis-Δ12-octadecenoic acid. The assignment of structure was based upon chromatographic studies, infrared spectroscopy, optical rotation studies, and, to a major extent, mass spectrometry, including combined gas-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, high resolution mass spectrometry, and the preparation of deuterium-labeled derivatives prior to mass spectrometry.
