Delta2-cis-Hexadecenoic Acid

One of the first organisms in which quorum sensing was observed were Myxobacteria, a group of gram-negative bacteria, found mainly in soil and also common to marine and freshwater systems. The cellular membranes of autotrophic bacteria contain mono-unsaturated fatty acids. The specific composition and abundance of membrane fatty acids can be used to identify specific genera of bacterial populations in natural environments (e.g., mining lakes, etc.). Delta2-cis-Hexadecenoic acid is an unusual fatty acid unique to some Myxococcus species.Formal Name: 2Z-hexadecenoic acid. CAS Number: 2825-68-5. Synonyms: FA 16:1. Molecular Formula: C16H30O2.
