Popis: | Through the adoption of a chiral stationary phase in high-performance liquid chromatography and a simple derivatization method for hydroxy fatty acids, it became easy to separate and identify the optical isomers of 2- and 3-hydroxy fatty acids composing several kinds of microbial lipids. The 2- and 3-hydroxy fatty acids were converted with dinitrophenyl isocyanate to their 3,5-dinitrophenyl urethane derivatives (DU-derivatives), which were analyzable by HPLC using a chiral column. By varying the composition of an eluent, separation of the DU-derivatives of hydroxy fatty acids differing in optical configuration, chain length and position of hydroxyl group was achieved. The general elution orders of these DU-derivatives were determined with authentic 2- and 3-hydroxy fatty acids. Small amounts (approximately 300 micrograms) of ornithine-containing lipids isolated from the Serratia marcescens strains were examined by this method to identify 3-hydroxy fatty acids of the lipids as D isomers. |
