Report on the discovery of a novel 3-hydroxy oxylipin cascade in the yeast Saccharomycopsis synnaedendra.
A novel cascade of 3-hydroxy fatty acids was discovered in the yeast Saccharomycopsis synnaedendra. The cascade, probably derived from incomplete beta-oxidation, comprises both even and uneven carbon numbered as well as saturated and unsaturated 3-hydroxy oxylipins. This yeast may now be used as model to further study the metabolism of these compounds as well as their biotechnological production.
