The electron impact mass spectrometry of straight chain alkanes C8H18-C40H82, squalane, methylstearate, 1-chlorohexadecane, 1-bromohexadecane, and dioctylphthalate was studied by sampling them with supersonic molecular beams. A fly-through Brink-type electron impact ion source was used, utilizing a vacuum background ion filtration

The composition of phospholipids from Mycobacterium convolutum R22 was determined after growth at two temperatures (20 and 30 degrees C) with 1-chlorohexadecane as the substrate. Comparisons were made with the phospholipids of cells grown on n-hexadecane. Phosphatidylinositolmannosides and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE)

A mutant Rhodococcus strain lacking the ability to utilize 1-chlorohexadecane was found to cis-desaturate aliphatic compounds, such as 1-chlorohexadecane, n-hexadecane, and heptadecanonitrile, yielding corresponding products with a double bond mainly at the ninth carbon from the terminal methyl groups.
