Cryptococcus humicola JCM 1461 efficiently produced cellobiose lipids (CLs), bolaform biosurfactants. The main product was identified as 16-O-(2″,3″,4″,6'-tetra-O-acetyl-β-cellobiosyl)-2-hydroxyhexadecanoic acid. The production yield of CLs reached 13.1 g/L under the intermittent feeding of glucose. The critical micelle concentrations (CMC) of the

Hydroxyl group-containing fatty acids play an important role in anti-inflammatory action, neuroprotection, bactericide and anti-cancer defense. However, the mechanism of long-chain hydroxy fatty acids (HFA) transport across plasma membranes is still disputed. Two main hypotheses have been suggested: firstly, that

Chromatographically pure galactosylceramide I3-sulfate (cerebroside sulfate (CBS)) containing palmitic acid or D-2-hydroxypalmitic acid has been prepared by the acylation of galactosylsphingosine I3-sulfate obtained from the saponification of bovine brain sulfatides. Optically pure D-2-hydroxypalmitic acid was obtained by adapting literature methods

Glucosylceramides were surveyed in crop tissues and by-products from their processing. Apple pulp contained the highest amount (0.94 mg g(-1)) of glucosylceramide and relatively less sterylglucoside, which is the major contaminant of partially purified glucosylceramide. Glucosylceramide from apple pulp was
