title: 2,4-Decadienals are produced via (R)-11-HPITE from arachidonic acid in marine green alga Ulva conglobata.
abstract: Marine green alga Ulva conglobata was investigated for the biogeneration of oxygenated products from exogenously added arachidonic acid (ARA). A crude enzyme from the alga afforded the detectable amount of a hydroperoxyicosatetraenoic acid (HPITE), which was identified as (R)-11-HPITE by HPLC and GC-MS. Headspace-SPME method indicated that ARA was selectively used to form 2,4-decadienals. These results showed that 2,4-decadienals are produced via (R)-11-HPITE from ARA exclusively.
