title: Isolation of polyisoprenyl alcohols from Streptococcus faecalis.
abstract: C(55)-isoprenyl alcohol and its derivatives have been isolated from Streptococcus faecalis and characterized. The relative amounts present as free alcohol, neutral lipid esters, and phosphate ester derivatives were determined. The chain lengths, mass spectra, and cis to trans ratio of double bonds are reported.
