Abstract
Abstract The preparation, isolation and purification of the toxic antibiotic bongkrekic acid (BA), produced by Pseudomonas cocovenenans on partially defatted coconut are described. It has been shown that BA is a branched unsaturated tricarboxylic acid with a gross formula of C 28 H 38 O 7 . The presence of three methyl groups, one methoxyl group, one ring system and six double bonds—two isolated and two pairs of conjugated double bonds, both conjugated with a carboxyl group—is proved.
