Artifacts produced by acidic hydrolysis of lipids containing 3-hydroxyalkanoic acids.
After acidic hydrolysis of lipid A preparations from pseudomonads, products containing both hydroxy and nonhydroxy fatty acids were obtained. The major products were alkanoate esters of the hydroxy acids. Similar compounds were formed when a 3-hydroxy acid was heated with a nonhydroxy acid under the same conditions.
