Abstract
A new microbial isolate (Bacillus cereus 50) transformed 12-hydroxyoctadecanoic acid to 12-hydroxyoctadecanamide when grown aerobically in 1% yeast extract medium at 30°C, shaken at 250 rpm for 2 to 5 d. The compound was purified by thin-layer chromatography and characterized by infrared, gas chromatography, mass spectrometry, and nuclear magnetic resonance. The yields of 12-hydroxyoctadecanamide were 9.1 and 21.5% after 2 and 5 d, respectively.
