title: Structural analysis of conjugated linoleic acid produced by Lactobacillus plantarum, and factors affecting isomer production.
abstract: An isomer of the conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) produced from linoleic acid by Lactobacillus plantarum was identified as cis-9,trans-11-octadecadienoic acid by proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Together with earlier results, we concluded that the bacterium produces two CLA isomers, cis-9,trans-11- and trans-9,trans-11-octadecadienoic acid from linoleic acid. The addition of L-serine, glucose, AgNO3, or NaCl to the reaction mixture reduced production of the latter.
