Figure 6 Microbial production of hydroxy acids by hydration of ricinoleic, linoleic, <strong>and</strong><br />

linolenic acids.<br />

Other examples of microbial biotransformation for the preparation of oxygenated<br />

fatty acids include the conversion of oleic acid to 7-hydroxy-17-oxo-9-cis-octadecenoic<br />

acid by a Bacillus strain (77) <strong>and</strong> to 10-hydroxy-8-trans-octadecenoic<br />

acid (78) <strong>and</strong> 7,10-dihydroxy-8-trans-octadecenoic acid (79) by Pseudomonas sp.,<br />

formation of 3-R-hydroxy-polyunsaturated fatty acids from fatty acids containing a<br />

cis-5,cis-8-diene system by the yeast Dipodascopsis uninucleata (80), <strong>and</strong> the biotransformation<br />

of linoleic acid to 8-R-hydroxy-cis-9,cis-12-octadecadienoic acid by<br />

the fungus Leptomitus lacteus (81). Furthermore, using Pseudomonas aeruginosa<br />

ricinoleic acid has been converted to 7,10,12-trihydroxy-8-trans-octadecenoic acid<br />

(79) via intermediate formation of 10,12-dihydroxy-8-trans-octadecenoic acid (82).<br />
