Figure 5 Microbial production of 10-hydroxystearic acid by hydration of oleic acid.<br />

acid catalyzed by Nocardia sp. (62–64), Corynebacterium sp. (65), <strong>and</strong> Micrococcus<br />

sp. (66) have become known.<br />

Anaerobic microbial hydration of cis-9 olefinic bond has been reported to yield<br />

10-hydroxy-12-cis-octadecenoic acid from linoleic acid, 10-hydroxy-12,15-cis,cisoctadecadienoic<br />

acid from �-linolenic acid, <strong>and</strong> 10,12-dihydroxystearic acid from<br />

ricinoleic acid as shown in Fig. 6 (67). Recently, hydration catalyzed by Nocardia<br />

cholesterolicum has been shown to produce 10-hydroxy-12-cis-octadecenoic acid<br />

from linoleic acid in 71% yield <strong>and</strong> 10-hydroxy-12,15-cis,cis-octadecadienoic acid<br />

from �-linolenic acid in 77% yield (68).<br />

A cyanobacterium, Phormidium tenue, converts linoleic acid via 9-hydroperoxy<br />

<strong>and</strong> 13-hydroperoxyoctadecadienoic acids to the corresponding hydroxyoctadecadienoic<br />

acids (69). Moderate proportions of 15-hydroxy, 16-hydroxy, <strong>and</strong> 17-hydroxycis-9-octadecenoic<br />

acids have been prepared from oleic acid by Bacillus megaterium<br />

<strong>and</strong> Bacillus pumilus (70).<br />

Strains of C<strong>and</strong>ida tropicalis have been engineered with enhanced �-hydroxyalase<br />

activity to produce �-hydroxylauric acid from lauric acid as shown in Fig. 7<br />

(71).<br />

A bacterial isolate from Pseudomonas aeruginosa has been found to convert<br />

oleic acid to 7,10-dihydroxy-cis-8-octadecenoic acid (Fig. 8), possibly via hydration<br />

<strong>and</strong> hydroxylation (72).<br />

A Flavobacterium sp. has been shown to convert oleic acid to 10-ketostearic<br />

acid as the main product (Fig. 9) in addition to 10-hydroxystearic acid (73). Moreover,<br />

the above species converts linoleic acid to 10-hydroxy-12-cis-octadecenoic acid<br />

(74), <strong>and</strong> �-linolenic <strong>and</strong> �-linolenic acids to 10-hydroxy-12,15-cis,cis-octadecadieonic<br />

acid <strong>and</strong> 10-hydroxy-6,12-cis,cis-octadecadieonic acid, respectively (75). A<br />

Staphylococcus sp. has also been found to convert oleic acid to 10-ketostearic acid<br />

with 90% conversion <strong>and</strong> 85% yield (76).<br />
